A Trip to Equesteria Please

Ricks POV

Me and my friend were driving to a Con, by the way, names Rick, school cool guy that girls all want, owner of a Lamborghini, and smartest kid in school, oh and extreme daredevil! And the person next to me is my friend Angie, smart athletic girl,
Back to me and Angie going to a Con, my costume is custom made, a combination of Eggman, Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu from Pokemon, a Sonic-styled Pikachu.

He's the Ultimate Lifeform, he is part of a crossover of Tfa, Sonic, Pokemon, Avengers, and My Hero Academia. And now I can show my creation to the people of the Con.

Angie decided to go as Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe, she painted her skin and died her hair blue to match, only thing she was missing was the gem.

"Isn't this exciting Rick! Going to a Con for the first time!" Angie said, clearly excited, "Oh I hope we get to see the Merchant a trip to Equesteria sounds nice right now!"

"Yeah, me too, after all, Brownies and Pegasisters gotta stick together." I said to my excited friend,

I pulled up to the parking lot of the Con, I put on my costume real quick, then me and Angie headed inside to see a beautiful sight, cosplayers going to and fro from stand to stand. Heck there was Dragon Ball Z stand,

We did a little exploring, bought a few things, like all seven of the Chaos Emeralds, the mirror that had Lapis trapped, a Master Ball with a Arceus plush inside, but a couple of items got our attention, the Blade of Olympus from the God of War series, and Rose Quartz Sword and Shield.

Fortunately, it was at the famous Displacers stand, the Merchant, and we were pretty much bored with our normal lives, so we walked over to him. "Hello you two, nice costumes, what can I offer you two from my collection?" he said,

"How about a trip to Equesteria Merchant?" I asked, with Angie nodding her head with stars in her eyes, the Merchants eyes widened,

"Relax, no need to get hostile, just let us buy that Blade of Olympus, Rose Quartzs sword and shield from you and we'll be out of you're hair, also can we keep in touch? And every single character and item of my guys story in my Equesteria?"

"Please sir, we would really like to go! I would love it in Equesteria!" Angie pleaded, giving the Merchant her Puppy Dog Eyes.

"Sure thing, rarely anyone wants to get Displaced, but who cares, here's one Blade of Olympus, and two items of Rose Quartz, completely free, and my Displaced phone number, it allows you two to talk to me whenever you want." we thanked him, bid him farwell and then we blacked out.

Chapter 2

Ricks POV

I slowly woke up to crickets chirping, opening my eyes to see the moon, shining bright as always. Getting up, I checked myself, actual fur, big eyes, moveable ears and tail, leather boots and belt, bio-gauntlets, yep, I'm Displaced.

"Well this is gonna be awesome," I said, smiling, then a thought sprung up, "Where's Angie?" looking around, I couldn't see her anywhere, quickly calling the Merchant, I asked him where Angie was, he said she might have been sent somewhere out of the country, but he also said, I was Displaced during Discords reign, thanking him, I then head to see the status of the rebellion against Discord.

Just to see Celestia and Luna with three battalions of guards ready for battle, the princesses were doing their best to keep the battalions at the castle while that handle Discord, 'They're gonna be a while, might as well fight Discord,' I thought, then stealthily snuck away, once I was far enough distance, I used my super speed to go find the Draconequus, I also used my ears, which can hear a pin drop in a party filled room, to locate him, as I was searching, I prayed that Angie was alright. I finally found him on his throne in the middle of some chaos, he drank the glass of chocolate milk then threw the milk behind causing a explosion.

I used Spin Dash on his head, followed up by a Thunderbolt, that got his attention, "OW! Whoever did that is gonna pay dearly!" Discord shouted, slightly smoking form my lightning, he eyes soon found me, a look of confusion on his face before turning into one of rage, he prepped two balls of Chaos in his hands, me, both my fists were covered in lightning due to Thunder Punch, all I can say is this.

This is gonna be one heck of a fight.

Author's Notes:

For those of you who were reading, sorry, had to make a few changes.

ULTIMATE LIFEFORM VS. CLUTZY DRACONEQUUS(EDITED)

3rd Person POV

"You're gonna pay for that you little, er, whatever you are!" Discord said, glaring at Rick.

"You can try, you clutzy draconequus," Rick said, that name from the episode were Discord, Thorax, Trixie and Starlight went to save everyone from Chrysalis, "And I'm Pikachu, The Ultimate Lifeform."

He just sent an exploding pie at Rick, which he dodged and used Thunderbolt on Discord who dodged it, and they continued attacking, dodging and/or blocking with lightning, Chaos magic, and Chaos abilities from Shadow the hedgehog, after realizing that ranged attacks didn't do them any good, they went for close combat, which was an advantage for Rick, for he made Pikachu to know every fighting style there was.

Rick used a series of Kung Fu fighting styles, combined with Thunderpunch and Thunderkick and Iron Tail, to turn the tide in his favor, and it was working, until Discord splashed a liquid into Rick's eyes, blinding him with extreme pain, 'PEPPER SPRAY!!!' Rick thought, 'He blinded me, fortunately, I have good hearing.' using his super hearing, Rick was able keep up with Discord, landing devestating blows, but due to his blind state, Discord landed a few of his own, some pretty serious.

When the effects of the pepper spray were off, Rick opened his eyes to see a bruised and burned Discord, he had a black eye, some blood coming from his mouth, his chest had a slash mark, slicing some fur from his chest. He spat some blood, and glared at Rick, "YOU LITTLE RAT!" he shouted, causing Rick to flinch in anger, "YOU'RE GONNA DIE BY MY HANDS!!" he then sent wave after wave of Chaos magic at Rick. One Chaos ball hit Rick in the chest, causing him to scream in pain and sending him into a bus sized boulder, but Ddiscord wasn't done, he then sent more boulders onto Rick, but Rick used his speed to dodge them, then used Thunderpunch onto Discords stomach, sending flying,

Rick prepared an Kamehameha, only for the energy to die out, 'WHAT?!' he thought, Discord took this time to send Mjolnir at Rick, the sudden impact against his chest caused some blood to fly out Rick's mouth, followed by the sound of his ribs cracking, Rick soon collided with ground as Discord made the copy of Thors hammer disappear, "HAHAHA! YOU CALL YOURSELF THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM?! MORE LIKE THE ULIMATE WEAK RAT!" Discord said, mocking Rick, which caused Rick to charged at Discord, both fists covered in lightning, and began to pummel Discord while seeing red.

When Rick came to his senses, he saw a out cold Discord, he would have celebrated, but seeing Discords blood in his hands, he was filled with regret. "What have I done?"

Chapter 4

Ricks POV

I was hyperventilating, I nearly killed Discord! And it was because of my stupid rage! I quickly did my best to heal the wounds, luckily, they were non fatal, once done, I leaned against a boulder and tried to listen to some music to calm my nerves.

After a good fives minutes, I turned off my Iphone, just in time for the princesses to land with shocked and confused expressions, it was Tia who spoked first, "H-how did this happened?" she asked, to which I happily answered,

"Why the greatest fight for the history books. Me and Discord fought, I came out on top," I said, still leaning on the facing them, while keeping my cool, "Oh, you brought the Elements, good. Now you can turn him into stone." watching them eagerly for them to use their magic, but just stood, looking stupid in the process, my smile turned into a frown, "Well? Don't just stand there looking stupid, encase him in stone before he gets back up," I said, causing them to snap out of their stupor and encased Discord in stone.

Lunar looked over to me, "Tell us, did fight Discord and win?" she asked, I nodded, "And aided us in stopping his Chaos forever?" another nod, she walked over to and smiled, "Thank you Mr."

"Pikachu, no Mr. please, it makes me sound old." I said, she nodded,

"Thank you Pikachu, for saving Equesteria, you have my gratitude, we can reward you some gold or gems if you want?"

"No thanks, the reward I want is to be accepted in your land, princess." I said,

"Then you shall have it with a grand feast, come, we can talk on the way to the castle!" Tia said, opening her wings, the same with Luna, they both offered to give me a lift, which respectfully declined, saying I'll run it, they began to fly close to the ground, with Discord in Tias magic, and me keeping up with them, they were surprised, but then they began talking to me, asking about the battle, I told them about it.

Something tells me, our lives are gonna change forever. For the good or the worst.

Chapter 5

Ricks POV

As we arrived at the castle, ponies crowded around us, keeping their distance because of me, they talked among themselves, saying how I'm a creation of Discord that the princesses want everypony to see turn to stone, all that stopped when Luna announced, in the royal Canterlot voice, "CITIZENS OF EQUESTERIA, WE HAVE AN HONORED GUEST, HE FOUGHT DISCORD ALONE FOR US TO TURN HIM INTO STONE, PLEASE WELCOME PIKACHU THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM!!"

The surrounding went wild at the news of a brave warrior helping the princesses stop Discord, Luna then said that a feast was to be held in my name and that I'm a Equesterian citizen. That made me smile, just what I wanted.

A few hours later,

The feast was awesome, everyone got along, some kids asked me to tell them how I fought Discord I told them, I made powerful friends, one of them was actually pretty cool, Sir Regal Mane I believe, he offered me a place to stay when I told him I had no home, I declined but he said I can come by anytime. I was currently looking for the princesses, wanting to ask them something, I found them talking to some nobles, they switched from battle armor to their royal gear.

"Hello Celestia and Luna," I said to which they greeted me, "Hey, you wouldn't have seen any other beings, did you? Like a person who completely blue and has a gem on her back,?" I asked, hoping they saw Angie.

"No we have not, but we will keep a lookout." Luna said, after that the rest of the day went by smoothly, after the feast, everyone went home, I was shown to my room, bid goodnight to the princesses and fell on top of my bed, thinking back to the events my rage, all that was on my mind was killing Discord, shaking those thoughts out of my head, I drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 6

Ricks POV

This day could not go any worse, me and the princesses had to fight Sombra for the Crystal Empire, but I underestimated his Shadow Magic, it actually managed to wound me, and I had a healing factor of Wolverine, but his magic gave me three broken or cracked ribs, various cuts on my body, he cut my left eye out, and my right arm and left leg were broken. And to top it all off, my powers were either fizzling out, or not work. Causing me to become nearly defenseless.

But I was still in the fight, but he cheated by banishing himself and the Empire, and to make matters worse, I realized I had a enchanted knife in my stomach, and a pack of Wendigos appeared, we barely got out alive, as soon as we got back, the doctors and princesses did their best to heal me, they succeeded, but I had to wear a bandage over my left eye hole for a couple of days, after that, some manticores showed up while I was recovering, so the princesses handled them, at the cost of a few guards.

During that time I thought of a few reasons why Sombras magic hurt me,

1: It was powered by Dark Matter, which corrupts even Celestials, and that's only a mere pebble sized amount, and my main weakness.

2: I have not yet adapted to my new body, so my regeneration was slightly bad. Along with my powers.

3: The Merchant decided to troll me by making me weak to Shadow Magic.

I let out a sigh, then using my crutch, I limped over to my bedroom window, my arm was in a sling, I looked over the battle between the ponies and Manticores, seeing some loses until the Manticores fled. 'Looks like they handled themselves quite well, just wish I could've at least helped.' I thought, also, no Marvel, Sonic, Pokemon, Transformer characters were found, I called the Merchant about it, he said they will be in Equesteria in a thousand years.

And no Angie either, I looked all over, no luck, but the princesses had sent out word to keep an eye out for her. So far, nothing.

Speaking of Pokemon, I pulled a pokeball from my pocket dimension, I have a lot of Pokemon, and don't judge me, Mewtwo had Pokemon in a movie, so why not I, this Pokeball contained Pikachus number one partner, Charmander, he has an Everstone, once it's removed he evolves into Charizard. I also have Latias, Lugia, Pikachu, Greninja, Lucario, and Totodile and a lot that it would take too long to name. I heard the familier sound of hooves approaching the door, I put the Pokeball away, and limped to the door to open it, I was greeted by a hoof knocking on my noggin, well that's what I get for opening the door early.

"Oops! Forgive my Pikachu, I did not expect you to open the door so soon." Luna apologized, I told her it was fine, "I was checking up on you about your wounds, are they healing up nicely?"

"Yeah, they're doing good, thanks Lulu."

"You are welcome, also I'm sorry you had to suffer such wounds, I didn't think Sombra would do this." she said, tears staining her eyes,

"Hey Lulu, it's alright, Sombra was sadistic monster, which ment he was unpredictable, besides, healing factor is kicking in, so my wounds will heal, and I'll get a new eye. So don't beat yourself up k?"

"Alright, remember if you need something, I'll be next door." she said exiting my room. I limped over to my bed and laid down, going to sleep.

The 'Plan' Revealed

Ricks POV

Death was all around me, dead ponies both Royal Guard and the Night Guard, littered the ground, how did this happen you ask, two words,

Nightmare Moon.

She came, I knew one day she would come, but I didn't know when, so I was unprepared, along with Celestia, she was powerful, she used Shadow Magic on me, taking out my healing by a little, and to top it all off, my powers were acting out again, but we banished her to her moon for a thousand years.

I limped back to the castle which was in ruins, Celestia is planning on making a kingdom, Canterlot, somewhere else, and pretty sure you can guess, my armor was falling apart, the armor is the War Machine armor from Iron man, but made to fit my body, ears, thunderbolt shaped tail, and four fingers, remember, it was beyond repair, the helmet was destroyed, the upper left side of it incerated, the right leg was shattered like glass, the weapons were dead, I used this armor against Nightmare Moon, to hold her off until Celestia did her thing, after the fight she left for the castle, telling me she wanted to speak with me.

I let out a sigh as I entered her room, disenagaging from the armor and sent it into my portable lab, shrinking tech is a life saver.

She was looking through some old scrolls when I came in, the Elements floating around her, "Good, you're here," she said, her eyes never leaving the scrolls, "Tell me Pikachu, what are your thoughtss on the battle against Nightmare Moon,"

"It was a bloodbath out there, that's for sure, she was extremely powerful," I answered her, she looked over to me, her eyes narrowed,

"But isn't that what you wanted?" she asked confusing me, "To turn my own sister against me, so that way if either one of us wins, you can just kill us and take the title of king of Equesteria,"

"What!? I would never do-"

"DON'T YOU DARE LIE!!" she yelled blasting me against the wall, then showed me what she was reading, it was a evil plan, and it was in my handwriting,

My plans are coming together perfectly, the foolish princesses accepted me into their home, now I can corrupt Luna and turn her against Celestia, I don't care who wins, I'll kill them either way, and I, THE THUNDER DEMON SHALL RULE ALL!!

"What, but this isn't-" I tried saying before she blasted me though the wall,

"You lied to us, we trusted you and called you our big brother, yet you betrayed us, you had Luna banished, and you were going to kill me, I think it's time for my revenge." she levitate the Elements around me, and used the last of their power to turn me into stone, but before I was fully stoned, I saw a pair of menacing purple eyes and mouth behind Celestia, smiling darkly, one thought went through my mind seeing that familiar face.

'No.'

Chapter 8

1000 years later
Sweetie Bells POV

Me and the rest of the class we're in the Canterlot Gardens, we were here for a feild trip, learning about the history of Equestria, we came across a few that were confusing, like a strange mix matched creature, but we had no time to discuss about it.

"And here class we come to our last stop," Miss Cherilee said, as we stopped in front of another statue, this one had a pair of bunny like ears, strange gauntlets, cool things on its feet, a bandana around its neck, and a thunderbolt shaped tail, it was standing up on it legs, it's arms by its sides with paws? clenched, ifs eyes narrowed, "Now class, who can guess what this is?"

Snips raised his hoof "A giant bunny?"

"No, obviously its some sort of cousin to the Diamond Dog," Applebloom said,

"No, this is the Thunder Demon, a demon from Tartarus said to have manipulated the princesses long ago, gaining their trust and then planned on killing Celestia, but he was defeated, sent back to Tartarus."

"Whooooaaaaa," everyoony but me said, I was looking at the Thunder Demon, mostly its eyes, they were filled with a deep sadness and pain. As we boarded the train for Ponyville, I couldn't get the look of the Thunder Demon out of my head, he just looked so sad. 'Sweetie Bell.'

"Did you say something?" I asked my friends, who only looked at me confused,

"Uh, no we didn't Sweetie Bell," Scootaloo said, I was confused, I could have somepony said my name, but I shrugged it off as my mind playing tricks on me. We finally arrived at the Ponyville Train Station, looking out the window, I could see Rarity, Applejack and Scootaloos dad, Smooth Jazz, waiting on the platform, along with other parents, we exited out of the train and me and Applebloom hugged our sisters while Scootaloo hugged her dad, as we said our goodbyes to each other as we head home, my thoughts went back to the Thunder Demon while Rarity was talking about her day.

'Sweetie Bell' ok, I know somebody was talking to me, but it sounded more like it was in my head,

"So how was your field trip Sweetie Bell?" Rarity asked, I told her about the garden, the statues and the Thunder Demon, we eventually made it home right when the moon was rising, "By the way Sweetie Bell, I have something for you." Rarity said as we entered, she walked over to a chest and pulled out a green gem, and handed it to me, "Now, this gem is quite magnificent, and I decided to give it to you "

"Thanks Rarity!" I said hugging her, we ate dinner and went to bed, I brought the gem with me, its color was mostly green, and it seemed to shine a bit in the moonlight, I put it on the nightstand next to my bed and fell asleep.

3rd Person POV

As Sweetie Bell slept, the gem glowed, as if calling out to someone, meanwhile, in the Royal Gardens of Canterlot, a being incased in stone sensed the calling, CHAOS CONTROL!' in a flash Sweetie Bell and the gem disappeared.

Freedom!

Sweetie Bells POV

As I was waking up due to reasons unknown, I noticed that I was no longer in my bed, but in patch of grass, and there were gems surrounding me, I saw the gem that Rarity gave me, looking around to see I was back in the Royal Gardens, and that's not all I saw, I saw the statue of the Thunder Demon in front of me.

'Sweetie Bell'.' my eyes widen in surprise, that voice, this while time it was coming from him! I slowly backed up, until I heard it again, Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you,' he said,

"T-then what do you want?" I asked, my voice filled with curiousity, while have some fear, but what said next shocked me,

'I need your help, I have been framed and thus Celestia turned me into a statue,

"Who framed you?" I asked,

'I do not know, though I do have a few suspects, but please, help me.' I started thinking after he said that, what if he's lying, then again, what if he really was evil, but his plea sounded so real, finally making my decision,

"How can I help?" I said, though I thought I heard a sigh,

'Put those gems in a circle around me, and say Chaos Control while channeling a bit of magic into each one..' I placed each gem in a circle, lighting my horn, I concentrated on putting my magic into the gems,

"Chaos Control." I said, but nothing happened, then the gems glowed really bright, they floated up and began to spin around the Thunder Demon, spiderweb like cracks started forming all over his body, until finally,

BOOM

Bits of stone flew around me, rather small ones, looking to the Thunder Demon, I saw him standing tall and proud, he looked to me with a smile, then his body began shake, and blood came out of his mouth as he let a mixture of a shout of pain, and a gurgling noise, he fell onto his back, gasping for air, I quickly galloped towards him, "M-mister, are you okay, what am I saying, you're puking blood!" I shouted, seeing blood leaking out of the corner of his mouth, and I saw the cause of his pain, a deep gash on his side, looked like it was well aimed, and it looked brand new.

Then the cut started closing, almost like he had some super healing, when the cut finally closed, the Thunder Demons breathing returned to normal, he propped himself on his, um arm knees? and spat out some blood to the side, and looked at me.

"Thanks for freeing me kid, I owe ya one," he said, his voice sounded young, yet had a slight deepness to it, his steel grey eyes seemed to slightly glow in the moonlight, "By the way, care to tell me whens the Summer Sun Celebration?"

Rick's POV

Sweetie Bell looked at me with confusion, probably because she never thought to hear a quote unquote demon, ask that,

"Uh, it's in two weeks, why?" she asked tilting her head that just made wanna hug her forever, I just shrugged,

"No reason." I tried getting up, only to nearly fall back down, apparently, getting stabbed while stoned takes a lot out of ya, and I knew who do it, Celestia, getting up again, I looked around, seeing I was in Canterlot Gardens, good, with what Sweetie Bell told me, I was right before Episode 1: The Mare In The Moon, "Welp, I should be going," I said, walking off, giving a peace sign, "Laters." but what Sweetie Bell said next stopped dead cold,

"But where are you going?" she right, where am I going to go, no doubt, Celestia would have made bad legends about me, so anybody with enough brains would recognize me, especially, gulp, Twilight Sparkle, she would tell Celestia immediately. Then an idea sprung up, I looked to Sweetie Bell, I could hide out with her, could be risky as all the Elements of Harmony would be in one spot, but what choice do I have, I'm too weak to find a safe place to recover. "Um, I don't have any place to go to, so maybe I could g-"

"You can stay at my place, just until you fully healed!" Sweetie Bell said, smiling, ok, that was easy,

"Thanks squirt," I said smiling, "You're the best," one problem down, another to go, "Tell me, does any of your family-"

"Read about you, yes, which means we need a way for you hide," she then began to ramble on about ideas about sneaking me in while I had one of those Anime shocked expressions, left eye twitching,

'SHE A FREAKING MIND READER OR SOMETHING!?!?' I thought, before snapping out it when and Idea formed, double tapping my Bio-Gauntlets, I activated a disguising gadget, then in a flash, I was smaller, roughly about Sweetie Bells height, who stared at me in shock, walking to a puddle, I saw a normal Pikachu staring back, I still had my hair style, the red badanna was still around my neck, the bandages were still around my arms, my gauntlets turned into a pair of watches, my belt was around my waist, and my shoes disappeared, I turned to Sweetie Bell, and before I could say a word, she tackled me,

"AAAAAAWWWWW, YOU'RE SO CUTE, LOOK AT YOUR LITTLE RED CHEEKS!" she shouted, awing and squeezing, poking me and petting me. Most embarrassing thing eve-oh sweet Arceus, she's scratching behind my ears, I felt myself melt into it as my foot began to stomp on the ground.

Chapter 10

Rick's POV

I was currently hiding in a bush in Ponyville, me and Sweetie Bell came up with a plan to hid me just before I Chaos Controled us here, the plan is for Sweetie Bell to 'find' me, and practically beg Rarity to 'keep' me, not the best of plans, but hey, I can work with it, while the Sweetie Bell was doing her part, I thought about Angie, no doubt she would still be missing, because she would have found me by now, and being trapped in stone didn't help in the search for her, I even used a Psychic scan to find her, though it was a weak scan, I still couldn't find her, I'm really worried now.

"Come on y'all!" I heard Applebloom shout out, "Let's go an get our Cutie Marks!" peeking through the bush, I saw Sweetie Bell and the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "What's on the list today Scoots?"

"Let's see, today it's," Scootaloo said, looking at a very long list, "New species discovering! And we just know the place to discover a new species!" obviously thinking of the Everfree,

"Uh, I don't know Scoots, maybe we should do something safer," Sweetie Bell said,

'Thats my cue, don't want the Crusaders in the Everfree,' I thought, shaking the bush a little, getting their attention,

"What was that?" I heard Scootaloo say, then heard multiple hoof steps coming closer, "It sounded like it came from this bush,"

"Who's gonna check?" Applebloom asked, then heard Sweetie Bell say,

"I will,"

"Alright but be careful!" Sweetie Bell moved some of the bush, poking her head through,

"How did I do?" she whispered,

"Not bad, but don't stop now," I said, she nodded, and pulled her head out and called the other two Crusaders, who poked their heads in as well, awe and wonder on their faces,

"Whoa, what do y'all think it is?" Applebloom asked,

"Maybe some sort of rabbit?" Scootaloo said next, carefully poking me, before her eyes lit up in excitement, "Maybe we got Cutie Marks now!" they pulled out their heads to check, which I decided to come out, seeing their disappointed faces, they turned their attention back on me, "So, who's gonna keep it?" long story short, they argued who got to 'keep' me, Sweetie Bell won, told Scootaloo and Applebloom she was talk to Rarity about, and now we are walking back to Raritys,

"So, five bits say she wants us to go see Fluttershy," I said,

"You're on," Sweetie Bell said as we entered The Carousal Boutique, "Hey Rarity, I'm home!"

"Ah Sweetie Bell, good to see you Dar-what is that?" Rarity said, pointing at me, while putting a newspaper down,

"He's a new pet, can I keep him? Pleeeeaaase?" Sweetie Bell said,

"Well, let's check with Fluttershy to make it isn't anything dangerous, then maybe." Rarity said, as we were walking out, I saw on the newspaper saying something about a red and blue, giant spider monkey, we eventually made it Fluttershys, who went through every book she has on animals, though finding nothing about me,

"Hmm, looks like you and the Crusaders found a new species," Fluttershy said, while was having a stare down with the white fluffy devil himself,

"So...can I keep him?" Sweetie Bell asked, Rarity looked a little unsure,

"I don't know Sweetie Bell, he could be dangerous, what if he eats ponies?" Rarity said, only to see me and Sweetie Bell give her a double dose of the puppy dog eyes, "Oh no, you are not using those on me this time." she said, trying to look away, but couldn't, she began to sweat bullets, her eyes glued to our faces, until finally she gave in. "Fine, you can keep it as long as you clean up after it, feed it, and bathe it,"

"Thanks Rarity!" Sweetie Bell said, hugging her,

"But, I want Fluttershy to make sure it doesn't have anything, could you do that dear?" Rarity said as we looked to Fluttershy,

"Um, I can do that," Fluttershy said, and proceeded with the checkup, after a while she said I was good, and we went to the Boutique, ate dinner and went to bed, I curled up at the foot of Sweetie Bells bed, while Rarity tucked her in,

"Goodnight Sweetie Bell," Rarity said, turning the light off, and proceeded to her bed,

"That went well," Sweetie Bell said,

"Yeah, but let's not talk about it right now, I'm tired," I said, "Oh before I do,"

I got up and changed back into my real form, and focused on creating a Token, when a yellow Chaos Emerald appeared in my hand, it had two black rings forming an x, I then said my message, while changing my voice to dark one,

To any Displaced out there, if you wish to summon me, merely shout Chaos Control, and I the Ultimate Lifeform will come to your aid, but if you bring pain and misery to the innocent, PREPARE TO DIE!

With that, a portal appeared and I tossed my token in, seeing it split into unknown amounts, before it fell out again, the portal closing, I changed back and saw Sweetie Bell looking at me, "I'll explain in the morning,"

That said, she went to sleep as I curled up next to her, I nearly fell asleep when two hooves wrapped around me, next thing I knew, I was Sweetie Bells little teddy bear for tonight, I merely shrugged my shoulders,

'Angie, wherever you are, just hang in there, I'll find you no matter what.' I thought before falling asleep.

Time for a Trip Girls

Author's Notes:

This chapter and the others after it will be a crossover with the story /story/439482/the-equestrian-anti-magic-knight

Oh boy, we had a time when we came in the door a few days ago. Surprisingly, Ymir had gotten along with Angel Bunny for the most part. They had been at each other's throats for the longest time now when no one was watching but they seemed to have worked out a truce while we were gone. That ended about an hour after we came home and cleaned up the warzone that had once been Shy’s house. I mean it now resembled what happened at the end of one of those old 1950’s Tom and Jerry cartoons. It was safe to say that Shy would be staying with me until we got her place up to codes again. Good thing Wood Worker and I are on good terms with the local contractor Hard Hat. He said he’d have the place finished before our return from the Savanna.

Speaking of the plan to free the ponies. I planned on having Ymir coming along with us this time around for a few reasons. First being to keep my still new house in one piece. Second, what would attract more attention than a six-foot black dragon pulling a cart into town. The more attention I get, the more wood I can sale for exotic prices for more funding to buy the mares and fillies in bonds. Money is going to be the key factor in this mission.

Shy and I got up and headed into the kitchen to begin the task of fixing breakfast for ourselves and all our animal buddies, Angel Bunny not included. ‘Dirtbag of a freaking rabbit.’ He decided he didn’t like me enough not to put up living under my roof and went to stay elsewhere on the property, still close enough to keep an eye on Fluttershy though. I think Ymir trying to eat him again was the deciding factor in it for the most part but I’m not complaining.

I decided that I wanted to fix banana pancakes. While I started on our breakfast Fluttershy went out and put a plate of carrots for the rabbit and then she went and gave Ymir a plate of steak cubes. She had been through a rough patch thanks to Sombra stabbing me but nothing too extreme, thank the gods. Speaking of the garbage king and Ymir she and I have since gained access to a variant of crystal magic. Nothing dark like Sombra’s but still nothing too extreme like making pillars of crystal from nothing. We’re keeping it on the down-low, for the time being, only Shy knows about it outside the animals and can't speak to anyone else.

After we ate and fed up the rest of the animals Shy and I went out to the garage, Yes, I put a garage on my house. The main reason was that I needed a place to store tools and my wagon that I used to haul lumber, apples, and other things for Wood Worker and the Apples. Second, was for Ymir when she gets too big to stay in the main house. She was already six-foot from head to tell. Also, she seems to be practicing her magic now. I hooked Ymir up to the harness while Shy went over our luggage before it was time for me to load it into the wagon.

I opened up the garage door and as I did Fluttershy pointed out Spike and Twilight coming up the road. I waved for Ymir to come into the garage and hooked-up her to the wagon and finished up as Twi and Spike walked up.

“Good Morning Asta,” Twi smirked as she walked over to me. I got to my feet and dusted myself off.

“Morning Twilight. Hey Spike.”

Ymir nudged Spikes back with her nose. “Alright, I know what you want,” Spike pulled out a good-sized emerald and tossed it to Ymir who gobbled it down in one bite. “Good morning Asta.”

“I still don’t understand how she can eat gems,” Twilight scratched the back of her head. Just then Nero flew in and landed on my head.

“I don’t get it either but she says their like candy for her Twi,” I scratched Ymir’s back. “Nero will be joining us by the way. She’s been enjoying her freedom since her wing is now fully healed.”

“Cool,” Spike said as he climbed into the wagon.

Fluttershy came up with Angel in her arms. “Good Morning Twilight, “She turned to Spike. “Good Morning Spike. Ready for our trip?”

“Oh yeah, can’t wait to help Asta with freeing ponies,” Spike fist-pumped. “Gonna crack some Caribou skulls in the process.”

“No, we aren’t big guy,” I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow. “I told you this is about legal means. The slaves are going to be bought by us. The Shadowbolts are the ones who are going to be running a black-ops while we do that.”

“The poor ponies,” Shy muttered under her breath but only I caught wind of it. She then looked to Dirtbag Bunny, “Angel, you look after everyone while we’re gone and don’t, '' she glared at him with her ‘Stare’. “I repeat Don’t trash Asta’s house.” He nodded in understanding. “Good bunny,” Shy patted him on the head and set him on the ground for him to hop away.

“Come on girls,” I jumped in the driver's seat while Spike sat next to me and pulled out a manual of some sort. “We need to hit the road. We still have to get Applejack and load up the rest of the goods at Sweet Apple Acres.”

“Coming,” The sang in unison and hopped in the back of the wagon.

“Onwards if you would please Ymir,” I said and she huffed at me before shaking her and pulling out.

‘You owe me a big exotic dinner for pulling this thing for you,” Ymir grumbled annoyed in my head.

‘I know but when we get there, okay,’ I answered as I rolled my eyes as the wagon moved forward. We were off to Sweet Apple Acres and to pick-up the last of the crew.

We arrived at the farm in about ten to fifteen minutes. Aj and Big Mac were already outside taking care of their morning chores. Everyone piled out of the wagon and chipped in so things would move along. With a group of six, we had everything wrapped up in about thirty minutes. The next thing we had to do was load up the Timberwolf lumber, which was actually was going to be a bit more difficult than I had originally planned it would be as there was more lumber leftover than I remembered.

‘Hey, I can’t keep track of all the creatures I killed that day, the only thing on my mind was killing to protect Ymir and the CMC.’

Luckily, we had the master mage, Twilight Sparkle, with us. Twi cast a size reduction spell on the timber and what had easily been at least five or six acres of lumber was now about thirty to forty small wooden crates of easy to transport stock. Aj, Big Mac, Spike and I all started to load the crates into the wagon while Twi and Shy help Granny Smith make some snacks for the journey.

Big Mac pulled me off to the side after we’d finished with loading everything up. He had a strong stern air about him. I like the guy I really do. Strong, easy to get along, and brotherly to boot but when he says stuff you better listen and listen well.

“Asta, Ah really don’t like the fact that Aj, Fluttershy, and Twilight are goin with ya on this trip,” We walked around as he explained. I could feel the deep concern in his voice. “The Caribou are male dominant in every way and wouldn’t think twice about disciplining a female of any race. Slave or not. They beat women just for fun ya know.”

“Sounds like every bit of the dirtbags that Aj said they are,” I crossed my arms feeling disgusted. I hope I can keep my impulses in check while in their cities.

“I know how ya are when it comes to treatin folks right and your friends,” Mac sighed. “Keep my sister safe by any means you deem necessary. That goes for the other girls too.”

“I won’t let anything bad happen to them in any way shape or form,” I placed a hand on my big friend’s shoulder.

“You mean a lot to us here Asta. We all consider part of the family ya know,” He smiled as we approached the wagon. “But Aj, you really mean a lot to her. Please don’t lead her on. Try and talk with her while on this trip.”

I jumped into the driver’s seat. “I won’t let anything happen to the girls Mac and I’ll definitely talk with Aj about her feelings about me. I’ve promised her we’d talk after the house was done but then we got summoned to Canterlot and well, this and that happened.”

“Things beyond your control will always happen,” Big Mac nodded. “But as long as ya work things out with her, okay.” I nodded. “If ya don’t wanna date her then that’s okay but please let her down gently as to not break her little heart as little as possible. She’s still my little sis and you’re still one of my best friends and a mutual thing would be best on both sides if you can swing it.”

“I agree with you Mac, but I think we need to be on our way as we still have to head back into Ponyville to catch the train to reach Equestria’s borders,” I held my fist up and he bumps it. “We’ll have to catch a lot of trains from here to the borders of Equestria and the Savanna.”

“Hold up Asta, Ah forgot Ah found this in the fields while A was plowin the other day,” Mac pulled out a yellow gemstone that resembled a chaos emerald from Sonic but it had a big X, made from two black rings,. He hands it to me. This was obviously a token of some kind.

“Thanks, brother, find anything else like this give it to me right away,” I placed the gem in Grimoire and then looked to Ymir. ‘Let’s head out.’

“On it,” Ymir got to her feet and we head off to town to catch the next train out of town.

We arrive in town with the next hour and waited for the next cargo train to show up. Oddly enough though there were no ponies to seen anywhere. I shouldn’t be surprised though as most of the town had never seen Ymir in her current size or period for the most part.

“Good grief, ya’d think this place would be a ghost town if it weren’t for the occasional shadow passin in the windows,” Aj tilted her head as she rubbed the back of her neck.

“It’s not that unusual for ponies to hide from something that they don’t even know existed Aj,” Fluttershy explained. “I would definitely do the same at first.”

“Yea you would sweetheart,” I walked up with the tickets. “But ponies a very xenophobic towards new things. And very quick to judge based solely on appearance. A perfect example of this is what happened when I first arrived here.” Shy and Aj’s faces went flush with embarrassment. “And I’m not just referred to our first meetings but my first encounters with the princesses too. Now,” I pulled out my Grimoire and then pulled the yellow gem Big Mac give me back at Sweet Apple Acres. “Who do you belong to?” I looked it over and wait to hear the phrase attached to the token.

“Summoning a new friend Asta?” Twi looked up from a book she’d been reading on a nearby bench.

“Was planning on it as we have a while before the train arrives, but I haven’t heard the creed for this thing yet,” I gave the gem a once over.

“A creed, what’s that mean?” Aj walked over and leaned over eyeing the gem.

“It’s a saying we Displaced put on the objects that we use our summoning charms that gives a base description of us to other Displaced when they pick up the token that we hear in our heads,” I explained as I held the gem in my hand. “It’s usually only heard by the Displaced but from time to time others can hear it too. Especially if the Displaced the token is connected to is extremely powerful. Like on the verge of becoming a Void Dweller powerful.”

“So, somepony like your big brother,” Spike added with a raised eyebrow.

“Yea, I guess so,” I plopped on the deck of the station. I felt a sudden surge of pain ran through my head with a voice that sounded deep and dark.

"To any Displaced out there, if you wish to summon me, merely shout Chaos Control, and I, the Ultimate Lifeform will come to your aid, but if you bring pain and misery to the innocent, PREPARE TO DIE!"

“Are you alright Asta?” Shy looked at me worried.

“Fine Shy, it’s the norm for this type of thing,” I shook off the pain and minor headache. “Here goes. CHAOS CONTROL!”

Then lightning appeared out of nowhere and big flash blinded everyone, when it died so did the lightning, what appeared to be a humanoid looking Pikachu, he had a red bandana around his neck, wild hair with a large bang on the right side of his head, strange gauntlets, along with a pair of shoes that seemed somewhat cool, a belt, and bandages around his arms, and is with a pony version Sweetie Bell, both sleeping.

“The heck,” I raised an eyebrow. “You look like a Pikachu did a fusion dance with a Sonic character. And why do you have a pony with you?”

"Huh?!" he looked around, before spotting me, "Oh, a summoning. And to answer your question, apparently my Cloaker might have malfunction, so I kinda got stuck being an actual Pikachu, which has an effect on the girls, causing them to hug me until I can't breathe, and I was sleeping when this little one started doing the same thing." he said carefully putting Sweetie Bell down, "And for the record, it's not my fault that I think Sonic would be cool with some of Pikachu's abilities."

“Ah what is that thing?” Aj looked at the Pikachu up and down. “It kinda looks like a yellow mouse.”

“Be nice Applejack, I think he looks adorable,” Shy rushed over and began petting him.

“Sorry about that,” I walked over and pulled Shy off the Displaced. I held my hand out. “Names Asta, Asta Ferris. Nice to meet you. This is my girlfriend Fluttershy,” I placed my free hand on Shy’s head causing her to blush as she hid her face behind her hair. “That’s Applejack.”

“Howdy,” Aj tipped her hat.

“That’s Twilight,” I pointed to Twi who was pulling out quills and scrolls.

“And the green-haired kid s my buddy Spike,” I moved my finger to Spike.

“Sup,” Spike waved.

"Yo, names Pikachu, my real name is Rick, either one is alright, so you're Displaced as an anime character, I'm guessing," he asked,

“Yea, I went as Asta from the Anime Black Clover. I won a game of Black Jack against a guy calling himself the Gambler, friendly dude. Any way, won myself a one-way ticket here and have been living here for a few months,” I explained as Twi came over. “Just got back from the Crystal Empire a few days ago now we’re headed to the Savanna.”

"What exactly are you? What are the gauntlets' purposes, or are you anything like Asta?" Twilight asked, with many more questions to come,

“Twilight,” I looked over to the young mage out of the corner of my eye. She shut her mouth, “I summoned the guy so your questions for him can wait. He can ask his first. Oh, and one last person to introduce,” Ymir raised her head into view from where she’d been laying on the other side of the station. “That’s my dragon partner, her name’s Ymir. She can understand you but she can’t speak with her voice just yet.”

"Oh, never seen a dragon like this, let me guess new species or Displaced?" he asked,

“She’s my partner. I received her egg from a Dragon Rider Displaced when her egg reacted to me being near her,” I smirked. “She’s called a sky dragon and is the equivalent of a pegasus in her homeworld. In this world, she’s the only actual dragon. Every species here is technically human.”

“Technically I’m a dragon too,” Spike butted in proudly puffing out his chest. “But we're called Drakes.”

“Then there are your sub-groups when the Drake race,” Twilight moved back in and started making notes on Rick’s appearance. ‘Easier to call the guy his real name instead of Pikachu.’

“Spike is classed as a Salamander among his race. They’re the most common of the Drakes, but Spike here is a little bit special case.”

“Hehe, I’ll say.” Spike scratched the back of his head. “Trap by Twi on her audition day for her acceptance into the best magic school in Equestria. I was hiding in the testing room from the kitchen staff and guards for stealing a shank of ham. I thought the guards were here so I jumped out when a big boom caused Twi’s magic to go haywire. She incased my in crystal, turn her parents into ice sculptures, and turned the guards into her personal cheer squad.”

“Safe to say one of my most embarrassing days ever,” Twilight hid her face in her notes.

“But one of the best days of our lives. If you hadn’t done it all we wouldn’t have met my mom,” Spike hugged Twilight. “I wouldn’t have a family or you.”

“Hmmm… Nice to hear a piece of your history guys,” I was shocked by the sudden reveal of Spikes past. “But back to you Rick. What you do exactly?”

"What he does? That's easy!" Sweetie Bell said, "I'm currently hiding him, he's a wanted criminal known as the Thunder Demon, but it's all a misunderstanding."

"Yeah, I was Displaced during the time before Nightmare Moon, helped out with a lot of things, like fighting Discord, trying to take back the Empire, getting severely wounded and losing the Empire to Sombra when he banished himself and the Empire. Then Nightmare Moon came along, after the fight, Celestia had this crazy idea about me being evil, then stoned me. Sweetie Bell then helped free me, now I'm hiding out with her." Rick said, pointing to Sweetie Bell,

“A wanted criminal aye,” I crossed my arms as I squinted then chuckled. “I would have been stone if I hadn’t gotten a handle on my emotions at the time when I first arrived here. This was just a few months back though. Not that I would’ve worked thanks to my anti-magic.I’m guessing, from the timeline you just gave me, you’re around three thousand years old? Give or take a few hundred years.” I pointed to the Pokemon who just stared at me with eyes wide and mouth agape. “What? Why are looking at me as if you have just been hit with the ugly stick?”

"Dang man, no need to state my age like that, you make me sound old," Rick said in mock hurt, with one hand on his chest,

“Eh, I learned from my big brother that time means jack outside our homeworlds unless you actually accomplish stuff and gain experience from living,” I shrugged. “ But if it makes you feel any younger, my brother is way older than you.”

"Anyway, what do ya need help with, or did you somebody to talk to?" Rick asked, "By the way, I sense 8 energies, when there's only 7 of us here, the eighth right next to you Asta." Rick said pointing to my satchel. "Rather dark too. Whatcha got in there, a demon Crystal or something?"

I pulled out my Grimoire and show it to Rick. "The show Asta comes from deals with magic. Everyone is given a Grimoire that only responds to them and only them. The books act as both a catalyst and memory bank for someone's magic and spells." I opened my Grimoire and it began to glow with my anti-magic. "And what you're sensing could either be my demon or Sombra. They're both trapped in this thing. But unlike everyone else, Asta has no magic power whatsoever so he trained to become strong without it. But since he can't use magic that means he’s perfect to wield anti-magic.” I reached into the Grimoire and pulled out the Demon-Slayer sword. “I can channel and use this anti-magic via the use of my swords and other items I have stored in my Grimoire. I can also use my Rider’s mark on my left arm in the same way. The drawback to this is I can’t use my ancient and crystal magics. At that time, Ymir can channel it due to our bond. Ya following so far?”

"Yeah, I'm following, so this Grimore, can others read it or something because I would love to see what else it can do."

“Anyone can read the Grimoires but only the one it’s attuned to can make it do anything,” I looked off to the side out of the corner of my eye. “And not everyone in this world has a Grimoire either. Only the main six, Spike and I have them. You should also be aware of the rankings of the Grimoire vary like their magic,” Rick nodded as he was staring at my book intently. “See weaker ones range from a one-leaf to two leaves on the cover and are the most common for people. Three leaves are common but the more powerful of common Grimoires. Then you have the top tier Grimoires they are ranked above all others in terms of power and rarity.” I pointed to the five-leaf clover on the cover of my Grimoire. “Mine and Spike’s Grimoires are the exceptions of this. The saying in the Clover Kingdom goes like this, “The three leaves of the clover represent faith, hope, and love. Within the fourth leaf dwells good luck.” I paused and darkened the tone in my voice quite a bit. “Within the fifth leaf dwells a demon.”

"Huh, interesting, and the fact that the fifth leaf represents a demon, it's frightening, I'm guessing five-leaf bearers are extremely rare," Rick asked,

“As far as I know they are. Five-leaf Grimoires have only ever been created from existing Grimoires in the manga, “I explained as I looked over to Spike and then back to Rick. “Spike is the only case where a barrier was gifted a Five-Leaf Grimoire from the very start, except for the original Asta but even his was a four-leaf that started off with the elf Licht over five thousand years in the story. It changed due to Licht using forbidden magic on himself.” I walked over to a nearby bench and took a seat.

"Interesting, so any chance I might get one, if not that's cool," he said with a shrug, sitting next to Sweetie Belle.

I looked to the Pokemon and pony. I took in a deep breath before letting out a sigh of annoyance and began to explain, “I’m the only being in this world that can give others a Grimoire of their own. I use a unique magic spell I call Publishing Magic with a blank book, ink, quill, and a small sample of fresh blood of the individual that I’m using the spell on. This is all done in tandem by the way,” I noticed Sweet shutter at the mention of blood.

"Oh, dang, so it's basically a ritual of some sort, freaky," Rick had a nervous look on his face, that's when I sensed dark energy right above hom,

“Yea,” I looked to the area above Ricks's head out of the corner of my eye as I leaned my head back and facing the sky. “It would be classed as blood magic. But it only requires a drop. But the Grimoire is attuned to the wielder because of the blood. Drawbacks of the spell are that not I or the person that it’s cast on have a say in the magic that the Grimoire is going to be. You could end up getting anything from mist magic to copper magic. Then you have your sub-categories like spirit magic and creation magic. The sub-categories are the types that anyone and everyone has access to. The limits of the Grimoire and spells are usually based off the wielder limits and imaginations.”

"Interesting, these Grimoires sound like some very powerful items," a dark voice said, then a black mist formed right next to Rick causing him to jump back a little, then stepping out of the mist made me think Dark Sonic, but had the appearance of Rick, his gauntlets resembled a knights, and were a dull grey, the black parts such as the ear tips were white, and his eyes, they would make demons scared, they were an eerie, glowing, ghost white.

Everyone immediately got into an attack pose, except Rick, he had a look of annoyance, "Really Dark, sneaking up on people now, it's ok everyone, this is Dark Pikachu or Dark for short."

"Hello, sorry for the scare," Dark said,

"Wasn't scared in the slightest," I waved my hand in front of my face. "I can sense ki so I knew you were there already. And the Grimoires can be dangerous but the real threat lay in its user's ability to imagine and create new spells." I looked over to Dark and a thought popped up. "Seeing how your darker half has its own independence you would each receive a grimoire but just remember that you neither of you could use the other. Grimoires are attuned to each individual's soul."

"Alright, we get it, no one but the owner can use the Grimoires," Rick said, then pulled a small cube-like item, "Before this whole thing can happen, I think you guys should have something in return," then he threw the cube off the side of the station, then it grew in size, now it was the size of Golden Oaks, Rick motioned us to follow as he put in the password rather quickly, the doors opened to reveal a rather large laboratory on the inside.

“Ya’ll Displaced sure have some strange things on ya,” Aj remarked.

"Oh my Celestia,” Twilight gawked. “What is this wonderful place? I could do so much if I had half of this equipment for my experiments.”

"Welcome everyone to my lab, this is where I build all sorts of gadgets, and sorry Twi, but your not yet ready for this type of tech, this tech rivals some of Earth's smartest minds, its equal to that of Ancient Cybertronian tech, it's too advanced for your race,"

“There’s only one person I’ve met with more advanced tech than this?” I smirked thinking of my older brother. ‘Allen’s tech, alchemy, and magic would put this guy out of business if they were competing. “Maybe you meet him one day.”

"Hmm, maybe, sounds like a good guy, anyway, the reason I brought you here is to give a selection of my tech and some interesting creatures, even though I said the ponies aren't ready, doesn't mean I can't give something that at least they can handle," Rick pressed a button a wall, the wall opened upwards revealing a set of action figures?

“What're those?” Spike ran over to the figures excited wit hhis eyes as big as saucers. “Looks like something you’d order with a limited edition comic.”

"These are my mechs, shrunk down to the size of action figures, thanks to my friend the Merchant, he sends me blueprints of various giant robots, I have Gundam, Voltron, even mech versions of each Optimus Prime, and of course," he grabs what appeared to be a dragon-like mech, it almost maple leaf-shaped spines and jetpack, "Kiryu, or Mechagodzilla in English, or Mekegojira for Japanese. For the Main Six I'm planning on giving them less advanced mechs, just make sure Twilight doesn't try to take them apart, k?" he said to me, giving me Kiryu, "You may need it, Displaced like us tend attract things from their series or something from the darkest corners of Equus, you could be facing a Balrog one of these days, or worse, you need all the gear you can get, I also made it too have neural power link, your mind controls it, and if you want, you channel most of your power through, giving them some of your abilities. I'll give you a bio of Kiryu, and to activate them just place them or throw them to the ground and shout their name,"

“Sweet,” I pulled out my Grimoire. “Twi, if you would set things up for me, please. Is there a place we can go in here that can handle a large energy discharge? I’d rather not do it outside and attract unnecessary attention.”

"Yeah, follow me, the room and my lab completely blocks off any type of energy from leaking out, not even a world-class energy reader can detect it, even if their standing in front of it, and if your worried about the princesses sensing it too late for that, they would have noticed the lightning and Darks energy, his easily dwarfs Tireks, if he had a chance to test it." Rick led us to an incredibly large room. ‘As if Godzilla and Mechagodzilla could fit in here’. "Welcome to the DangerDome, here hero's like myself train to better our abilities, even go full out with damaging anything."

“No worries about the princesses my friend. I just need somewhere I could cast the Publishing spell. Void Lighting is very unstable after all,” I opened up my Grimoire as Twi pulled out a couple of blank books from her bag along with a set of quills and a bottle of ink.

"True, but Dark here is someone even the princesses wouldn't think twice about destroying, he went head to head with Sonic EXE. A very powerful demon, that might I add managed to kill the whole world without even trying, not even I could keep up with the monster." Rick said as Dark tensed up, a slight hint of anger could be seen in those emotionless eyes but quickly disappeared.

“You have no idea what kind of monsters are out there in between the worlds my friend.” I set everything up on a nearby table and placed a couple of saucers the Shy had pulled from he nap sack. I then poured some ink in each saucer and motioned for Dark and Rick to come over. “Okay, all I have to do is add a drop of blood to the ink mix it well and then take the quills and write your names in the front covers of the books. Once you two do that I ‘ll take care of the rest.”

They both nod and proceeded to add a drop their blood in the ink, mix it, and then write their names. "Asta, you said that the fifth leaf would represent demon? Well Rick's demon would be his rage, the Deadly Sin known as Wrath transferred some of its essences into him, would these be like a prison for the said demon?"

“Demons want one thing and one thing only,” I opened my Grimoire and it began to float in front me as it became enveloped in black anti-magic. “A body. Our Grimoires act as seals and conduits at the same time for our demons. In a sense, they’re both our power and weakness. Promising power but taking you over at the same time. If you have the fortitude to resist their pull you can draw upon their power but still remain yourself.”

They both nod in understanding,

“Both of you stand next to your books,” They did so. “This will hurt quite a bit if the lightning hits you. Grimoire Publishing Magic!” Black lightning surged from my Grimoire and struck the blank book and then connected to the Pokemon.

Soon, Darks book emerged first, it was a very dark grey, five leaves were on its cover along with the title

Dark Spirit Magic

Rick's came next, he seemed to have dragon scales on it, it was a flaming blue and seemed to give off a slight heat, a dragons head was on it, breathing fire, with a five-leaf clover on its neck, glowing as if though its flames were coming from it.

Salamander Dragon Spirit Magic

Rick and Dark were awe at their Grimoires,

“You both like?” I smirked as I put away my Grimoire.

"Yes, we do, thank you, Asta Ferris," Dark said as he stuck his hand out for a handshake.

I took a firm hold of Dark’s and gave it a good shake. “I’m still new to magic and this Displaced thing but as long as you practice you’ll go far.” I turned to Rick. “What about you Pikachu? Not every day a lightning user gets Fire Dragon Power.”

"Yeah, your right, thank you, Asta, now about those creatures I promised,"

“Question?” everyone looked to Twilight. “What are the number of leaves on the covers and what do they look like?”

Rick and Dark showed what their Grimoires look like to Twilight and the others,

“Interesting,” Twi said with intrigue as she took notes.

I picked the scholar up by her collar and moved her off to the side. The others only giggled as Twi pouted that I interrupted her inquisition of new forms of magic. I don’t blame her after all. Her Grimoire is copy magic, after all, meaning the more knowledge she has on other magics the more she can utilize as her own. Eventually, she’ll be able to combine the magics she knows to create new ones. She’s just severely limited right now due to the only ones having Grimoires in this world are her six other friends. You wouldn’t believe how peeved she got at me for her not being able to copy my anti-magic or my swords for that matter.

“Okay guys I leave the rest up to you two,” I shrugged wit a modest grin. “Just be careful of the demons as they now will have a conciseness each and will try any form of persuasion to get your bodies.”

"Right" both Dark and Rick said at the same time, then Rick lead to another door, this door had a positive feel to it, Rick inserted another password, then the door opened, to reveal a grand field, a lake with so clear, you can see the bottom, looking up to see a sun, to my right was a forest, all over beautiful flowers lay, but that's not the only thing we see, various creatures of all shapes and sizes, I knew what they were.

"Everyone, welcome, to Eden! A sanctuary built for Pokemon that were left or abused by their trainers, here that don't have to worry about being hurt by the evils of humans." Rick said with a proud smile, "When I see this place, it fills my heart with joy that these Pokemon can live natural lives without fear of old trainers, evil gangs like Team Rocket, or being hunted."

“Uh, Rick, ya never told us what Pokemon are, exactly?” Aj held up a finger.

“Yea, what are ‘Pokemon’?” Twi asked with intrigue getting ready with a fresh book.

“What’s a trainer and a Team Rocket? The way you mentioned them, it sounds as if the mistreat these little guys,” Fluttershy bent down to get a better look at an Oddish as it ran up to get a closer look at our group before it darted back to the bushes from where it came.

“WOW.” Spike pointed to a tree. “That’s a BIG bug!” I looked to see a large blue Hercules style beetle.

“That one’s called a Heracross Spike and the one that you were looking at Shy, it’s called an Oddish,” I pointed to the representative Pokemon.

“Asta, how do ya know what the names of these critters are?” Aj looked at me in total shock.

“These are Pokemon. Short for Pocket Monsters. Think of their situation similar to mine and Ricks as Displaced as far as their origins go,” I explained while Rick and Dark nodded in agreement. “But in the world that these little guys come from they fight each other to grow stronger so they can then evolve into a new form with greater power.”

“Sounds simple enough,” Twi jotted down her notes.

“Trainers are humans that capture the Pokemon and help them evolve or they just live in peace with them as friends. Sometimes if a Pokemon is docile enough the trainers don’t even have to capture them.” I crossed my arms as a scowled formed across it. “There are bad trainers and evil gangs that steal Pokemon and force them to do evil acts. For their gain or sometimes they just want the Pokemon because it’s a rare or legend amongst its species.”

“That’s awful…” Shy looked at the Pokemon playing. You have to remember how kind-hearted she is especially towards animals. It’s one of the reasons I fell for her. “You saved them Rick?”

“Why’d ya bring us here fer?” Aj raised an eyebrow eyeballing the Pikachu.

"Yes I save them, often leaving an evil gangs base in ruins, and why I brought you here is because these guys still wish to have somebody to care about them, some miss having a trainer, even if it was a bad experience for them, like Heracross over their, "Rick said pointing to a lone Heracross," he misses having somebody he can trust that's not a Pokemon, I feel like they're getting ...lonely, and no matter how happy they are here in Eden, they still want a trainer or somebody to care for them."

“I’m not against letting the girls have their own Pokemon,” I agreed with Rick’s sentiment. “But I’ll leave it to you to pick the Pokemon,” Everypony in the room was about to speak up in disapproval before I quickly cut them off. “You don’t know their personalities or history. Some of the creatures have been through real hell on from where they’re from. Leave it to the one who saved them and they trust most. Okay.” They all nodded with a little bit of reverse.

"Good, and I'll give them a Pokedex equipped with a How To Raise Your Pokemon guidebook, Fluttershy will go first," he kneeled down some bushes, "I knew right you were there, come on boy," he stood up, and turned to face us, and in his arms was a Charmander, and it looked like it was trying to hide itself in Rick's arms, "This is Charmander, he's a little shy around strangers, but, he'll warm up to ya in time, he's also pretty tough, his moves include Flamethrower, Dragon Rage, Scratch and Smokescreen. Raise him well," he handed Charmander to Fluttershy, "Now, where are they, oh, there they are, come on over guys," a pack of Pokemon ran to us, "Alright, you also get, Dratini, an energetic little girl, but knows when to calm down, Joltik, which I'll supply you with electro orbs to keep him fed, they eat electricity, or you use lightning from clouds, Caterpie, a calm one she is, she likes leaves and sweats, mostly sweats, a Froakie, perfect little helper, just don't let him eat a ton of sweats, it will take awhile to calm, and an Eevee, likes to have fun and can be quite protective of her friends, I'll also give you different Stones to evolve her if you chose to, Fire Stone, Thunder, Water, but if Eevee is hit by the moon's Ray's, she'll evolve into Umbreon, Leafeon it's a Moss Rock, Espeon you have high friendship or a Sun Shard, Glaceon an Ice Rock, and Sylveon, a fairy type move and two levels of affection, Pikachu, and a Sandslash. Here are some Pokeballs for them," Rick handing Fluttershy several Stones, and a Pokedex. Then turned to Twilight.

"Alright, Twi, you get Porygon, Beldum, Elgyem, Lilipup, Honedge, and a Chespin," handing Twilight her gear,

"Dash gets a Pikachu as well, a Pidgey, Blitzle, Krookadile, and Pawniard.

Rarity will get Ralts, Excadrill, Vulpix, Liepard, Meowth, Fennekin, and a Milotic.

Pinkie, a Mr. Mime, Ghastly, Bayleaf, Haunter, Ditto, and Cindaquill.

Applejack, Squirtle, Venesaur, Vespiquen, Heracross, Bouffalant, and Machamp.

Spike, Garchomp, Axew, Hydreigon, Riolu, Escavalier, Tyranitar, and Tyrunt." Rick said, giving the rest of the Main 6 and Spike their items, then turned to me.

"Asta, you get Lucario, Pyroar, Greninja, Gyrados, Dragonite, Growlithe, Braviary, and a Shiny Rayquaza. And there are currently two Rayquazas in my world, I have a lot of trust in you to have one of the great legendaries," Rick said.

“I won’t let you down,” I said grinning as I clenched my fist and then looked to the girls and Spike. “Let’s go meet some new friends. I’ll make sure the others get to their new homes safely.”

“Yeah,” everyone said in unison.

“Lead the way Rick,” I smirked.

We followed him to each of the Pokemon,

“If Asta gets all these awesome looking guys, they must be really strong,” Spike stared at Rayquaza. It had a red skin tone for its main body while the usual yellow lines were a brilliant shining silver. Its eyes were a deep ice blue. I’d never known a Rayquaza to exist in this version of shiny before. He was a big softy once I proved myself in a little one on one with him.

“Do we get our own Pokemon to look after too?” Shy squeed with joy.

"Yep, now then behave for your new trainers, k?" Rick said to all the Pokemon he's giving us, to which the Pokemon nodded.

"I hate to be that pony but," Twi interjected with a very valid point. "Some of these Pokemon are bigger than a standard house. How are we supposed to care for them? How the hay are we even gonna get them out of this room? The door is way too small for the biggest of them," She pointed are Rayquaza. The big fella looked kinda hurt at that comment.

"Relax big guy, and the answer is Pokeballs, they shrink the Pokemon down to be able to fit in them, and go anywhere with them," Rick said, pulling out a Pokeball.

"Ooo, which ones you have?" I asked excited at the prospect of the many different options. "Oh, do you ball capsules?"

"Yep, also Z-rings, Great balls, Ultra Balls, and a few Master Balls, but only 5 of the last ones,"

“Sweet,” I smiled as I fist pumped. Everyone else merely looked at me as if I were crazy with puzzled looks on their faces before turning to Rick for an explanation.

"You see, there are so many different types of Pokeballs, if you just use the same classic Pokeball, you capture chances get difficult with each Pokemon, some will break out instantly, others when you think you caught it, just break out after, so humans built other Pokeballs with higher capture success, such as the Master Ball, it has an absolute chance of capture," Rick said, in a matter of fact tone, Aj raised her hand, "Yes Applejack,"

"What would happen if a Pokeball was thrown at ya'll?" She asked as she pointed to Rick and Dark.

"Well, it would ...actually for once I don't know, I mean, I am part Pokemon, let's find out!" Rick held up a standard Pokeball, then handed it to me, "Just throw at me, Pokeballs have some homing device in them or something,"

“You’re serious?” I raised an eyebrow. Rick nodded while Dark edged off to the side beside the girls. “Okay, but don’t blame me for the knot you’ll get on your head even if it doesn’t work,” I reeled back like a baseball pitcher and let the Pokeball fly with a considerable amount of force. “Catch!”

The Pokeball hit Rick in the head, then opened with a red light shooting at Rick, then disappeared into it, the Pokeball shook a couple of times, then stopped, then started cracking, then blew up with Rick being sent to a nearby tree, breaking it in half,

“Oh my gosh!” Shy shot over to the injured Pokemon based Sonic character. “Are you okay? Where does it hurt?”

"Why yes officer, that is my monkey!" Rick said with a dazed look on his face, his eyes in spirals, before he shook his head, "Whoa, that was weird, and I'm fine Shy, just a little bruising, well at least we know I can't be captured, so no worries about being captured by gangs,"

“Don’t move,” Shy pulled out her Grimoire and opened it. The book began to flip through its pages until it stopped about halfway in. “Bruising is nothing for me. I used this spell to heal Asta’s fractured bones a few times. Gaea Magic: Healing Vines.” Lush green glowing vines sprang from the grass and wrapped around Rick and his bruises fade into nothing then the vines fade into the air. “All better.”

While Shy worked her magic on Rick I walked over to a shard of the busted Pokeball. “Mmmm.” I picked the shard and looked it over. “Thought so, maybe Allen can improve this? I pulled out my Alchemist Pocket watch and opened it. “Send to Edward Elric,” The arms spun and a small Void portal opened and I dropped the Pokeball shard into it. “Better tell Rick the news.” I walked over to my girl and buddy. “You look good for someone who was knocked on his but by a small ball.” I crossed my arms with a smirk. “Want to know why it didn’t work?”

"It be my DNA, I created Pikachu to be made from Sonic, Pikachu, and Eggman's blood to form this, so it could be that the other two non-Pokemon DNA countered the Pokeballs effects on an actual Pokemon," Rick said getting up, dusting himself off a bit,

I shook my head,” Nah, you’re still more Pokemon than human or hedgehog. You blew out the capacitors for the amount of energy the Ball could hold.” Just then my watch started to rattle. “One minute,” I opened the watch and a Void portal opened above it and out popped a Pokeball. It was gold on top with a silver base. While a blue ring ran around the center. Attached to it was a small note.

‘It was blown capacitors and a DNA filter. Issues fixed Little brother. Keep in touch and give Shy a hug for me. Your niece and nephew can’t wait to meet you. Love, Allen Ferris. I call it the Chaos Ball by the way.’

“Well we were both right,” I tossed him the Sunrise Ball. “Bro made it for ya, calls it the Chaos Ball.”

"Whoa, cool," Rick said catching it, then he became suddenly alert, his ears twitched,

All of the other Pokemon did the same. They were all on edge and I could sense something coming. I pulled Shy to me and pulled my Demon-Slayer Sword from my Grimoire. I looked at the other and looked to Spike and nodded. He armed himself in his green draconic flame gauntlets and boots as he stepped in front of Twi. Aj activated her Earth Golem Spell.

“What’s coming?” I looked at Dark. Who looked extremely unusually calm,

"Hey Rick, go see what it is," Dark said, which Rick immediately went over to see what it was,

"Darn right I will, whoever's invaded Eden is gonna-AAAAAAAAAAÀAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Rick screamed jumping and latching onto a branch, then giggling could be heard, looking to the bush Rick was investigating, to see a little girl, no older than 10, holding a clown mask, "I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT EVE, YOU KNOW I HAVE CLOWN PHOBIA!" Rick shouted at the little girl, losing his grip and falling on the bush,

I looked at the little girl. She had black hair and was wearing a blue shirt with a smiling sun, and black shorts Shy was looking over my shoulder. She wanted to immediately run over and scoop the child up in a big hugged but I kept her back and slightly shook my head. “Rick knows her but I’m not about to trust someone with that amount of power who was so easily hidden from my ki sensing to easily.”

“Rick, would you mind introducing us to your friend?” Shy gave a puppy dog pout.

"That's Eve, an orphan, her mom to cure some disease she had, with my blood, that disease was Dark Sickness, made from Dark Matter a substance that corrupts anything, including Celestials, but I have something that can combat this disease," Rick then closed his eyes, a blue glow came from his chest a strange gem Shard came out, "This a Shard of the Allspark, from Transformers Animated, I built Pikachu to be in like a crossover of Sonic X, TFA, Avengers, and Pokemon, you see, I also built him to be evil at first, a hero killer, he succeeded a little, killing a few heroes, but the Allspark shard changed that, it reformed him, then joined the League of Heroes, later on forming a team of reformed villains, called the Shadow League, anyway I'm getting sidetracked, Dark Matter is the very essence of evil, and the one who created it is evil itself, the Overlord, he also created Dark Sickness, it's technically a venom of the Dark Beasts, servants of Overlord, anyway, one of the Dark Beasts bit Prof. Gleams, daughter, giving her Dark Sickness, she tried to find a cure for her, but when a Dark Beast bit Pikachu, it didn't really affect him, only a little, he did get sick for a week but was cured because of the Shard, the Allspark represent Life, guess it also repels darkness, so the professor asked Pikachu to help, which he did, some tests later, they took some of Pikachu's blood and gave to Eve, she was healing up nicely, but the Beast that bit her must have found out and tried to kill me and Gleam, and reinfect Eve, it killed the professor, before it could get to Eve, I killed it, now she has been living with me," Rick said looking over to see Eve playing some Pokemon, some of the bigger ones being careful not to squish her by accident, a smile spread across his face,

"And as for her hiding from your ki sense Asta, she has been getting a lot of different powers, one of them is Ki Cloak, she literally erases all traces of her ki, making her invisible, heck she pretty much outclasses my labs energy Cloaker, she has basic thunder abilities, can run as fast as a cheetah, her Ki Cloaker, and has the ability to shapeshift into the three DNAs I'm made from, a Mobian Hedgehog, Pikachu, and her basic human form, she's also can shapeshift into something like me," Rick said, as Eve turned into a Pikachu, then back again,

“Seems like you two are pretty OP man,” I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms. “As far as powers and equipment go you’ve got me out classed by leaps and bounds. Eh, I prefer the simple stuff than al the OP stuff anyway. I’m still unlocking all the items I won from the Grambler at that. I got my wish to meet up with my older brother a few days ago and I’ve got a good life here with a good girl and great friends. Come to find out I quote the extensive family across the Void that ranges into a few nieces and a nephew that are Displaced too.”

“Speaking of family ties,” Spike pointed from Eve to Rick and back again. “So, if she’s an orphan, lives with you, and has some sort of blood connection with you, doesn’t that Eve your daughter of sorts?”

We all turned to look at Rick and Dark, who was steadily moving out of sight.

"You know, it kinda does, haven't really thought about it, and Eve isn't OP, she's only able to shapeshift into the three I told you, plus her lightning is pretty weak, but once she grows up she will have the same electric charge of maybe 2 Pikachu's, maybe." Rick said, before screaming and jumping to latch onto a branch again, due to Eve with a clown mask, "AGAIN WITH THE CLOWN MASK! I HATE THIS PHOBIA!"

“Dude, it’s just a clown mask,” Spike shaking his head.

“Easy up their partner,” Aj place a hand on Spike’s shoulder. “We all have things were uncomfortable around and scared of.”

“She’s right Spike,” Twi added. “For you it’s being unwanted or hat would happen if you lost control of yourself. For me it’s failing the Princess as her personal student.”

“Shy has a whole list of things she’s scared of,” We chuckled as the aforementioned pegasus hid behind her bangs. I walked pulled her in and gave her a nuzzle. “But that’s one reason why I’m here. To protect her. Heck, even I have fears, like not knowing if I can control my magic or if Sombra’s starts to rear his ugly head.”

"That's nice, anyway, we should head out, this place probably attracted a lot of attention," Rick said, heading to the door, "And I haven't given the girls their mechs, and be sure to give Pinkie, Rarity and Dash their Pokemon and Mechs, alright Asta?" as we exited Eden, with the Pokemon giving their farewells, we made our way to the entrance of the lab, Rick gave the girls the five lions of Voltron, Fluttershy got the Tiger Zord from Power Rangers, Spike got the Dragonzord, he opened the door and walked back out to the train station.

To see a bunch of ponies in front of the lab,

"Should've guessed this would happen," I murmured to myself. "We were here before the crowds but I expected to be the only ones here for awhile. Didn't take into account the ponies coming off the trainS coming in." I walked through the crowd to see what they have all gathered around.

The princesses were talking to a robot, he wasn't tall, just half my size, he had a mostly blue color, with some grey, mostly on his arms and legs, his feet were red with a white stripe going horizontally, his red glowing eyes had everyone on edge, it was Metal Sonic.

"For the last time, you are to tell us what is this thing or let us in, we command you!" Celestia shouted at Metal,

"Negative, all information is classified regarding structure, only authorized personnel allowed to enter, now leave or face the consequences!" Metal Sonic said to her, causing her to go on a shouting fit, I felt a tap on my shoulder, looking to see Rick,

"Why is Metal here and why is he annoying the Princess?" looked at Rick annoyed.

"Guard, but here," he said handing me a small cube, and a TLK Optimus Prime mech, "The cube is the D-Vault, short for Doomsday Vault, there are dangerous artifacts, weapons and spells out there Asta, so use it to store them, don't worry, the vault can never be broken into, and here," he handed me a sword, "A Masamune Sword, legend says that his swords were so well-made, their layers went to a point that was but one atom thick. I also had this sword is infused with the flames of a Dragon, no magic required,"

“These will definitely come in handy,” I pulled out my Grimoire and placed the sword and Prime mech into it and placed the D-Vault into my satchel. “One moment,” I pulled out my pocket watch again and opened it. “Edward Elric,” I spoke in confidence into the watch. The arms spun and then a holo-screen popped up from the watch. Soon a picture of my older brother’s back was being shown in some sort of workshop. He was surrounded by all types of what I would have to guess were automail arms, legs, and even wing.

“Hmmm,” I heard Allen notice a sound. “Ah, Asta, nice to see you, little brother,” He walked over and picked up his watch and slid a pair of goggles up onto his forehead revealing a line of grime on his face where they’d been resting. “What can I help you with?”

“I was wondering if you an extra anti-magic sword lying around? Or could you make one?” I asked a little reserved.

“Sure I can, but I have to know, did one of yours, break?” He asked as he moved off-screen and started to rummage through things.

“No, it's for a Displaced I made friends with,” I rubbed the back of my head.

“Okay then. You’ll have it now,” Allen said as a Void Portal opened and out shot a large package. “Come visit next time. I have to get back to work now, Take care brother.” He waved an the video feed shut off.

“Must be working on something big,” I looked to the package and then to Rick. “Call off Metal and join me here.” I walked over to the Princesses. “He’s with me so no need to worry. That's just a robot.”

“If you vouch for him then we’ll leave it to you Asta,” Luna looked to the robot in annoyance.

“Good luck on your mission,” Celestia placed a concerned hand on my shoulder. “Do be careful.”

“Always,” I nodded. They then teleported away in a flash and I returned to Rick. “Thought you might need this for your fights back home.” I picked up the sword to reveal and anti-magic crystal sword much like that of my older brothers.

“My brother forged this with Equestrian techniques of his world but with alchemy, he knows to infuse it with anti-magic he got from me.” I presented Rick with the weapon. “What ya think?”

"I think it's perfect," Rick said giving it a few practice swings, "Hey Asta, make sure nobody gets their hands on the Pokemon or mechs, and if a foe is too strong for ya, I'm only a call away." the lab shrunk after Metal went in, Rick placed the mini-lab in his pocket space, "And my token can be used as a Chaos Emerald, and it's called a Power Emerald, good luck on your future missions."

"Sure thing," I pulled off my headband. "The same thing for me, brother. It's nothing fancy but this headband will call me just say my name." I looked at the headband for a second. "Hmm. Give me a second, I'll update this thing," I held the headband up and thought if a new creed.

"If you seek truth and aid in helping the weak and in need, call forth the Anti-Magic Knight,"

A channeled some of my anti-magic into then tossed the headband into the Void Portal. Then a new headband landed in my open head and I held it out to Rick.

"This will allow you to channel anti-magic into your sword or from the sword into your bod. I suspect that instead of black with a red outline that yours will be black with a yellow outline," I explained the new headband as Rick placed it on his head with the red star in the front. The star turned yellow. "Just don't let it fall into anybody else's hands. You also won't be able to use magic when channeling anti-magic. The backlash would be very bad for your body. It will also give your demon another path to tempt you with. And Dark won’t have it unless you give him the headband. Which have another in case he might need it." I give Rick another headband.

"Got it, thank you Asta, and I'll be sure to give Dark his, he retreated back into my head, said he wanted to look over his Grimoire, speaking of which, I've been looking at mine and saw something that I wanted to try out before I leave. Care to spectate?"

“As long as it doesn’t cause damage to my town,” I motioned to the open field across from the train station. “I’ve got a few more moments to spare for ya, my friend. But I have a train to catch and a schedule to keep so we need to make this quick. Spike,” I motioned for the young drake to join us as he could learn something from someone with a similar magic to his own. “I five-leaf learning session for us all,” I smirked.

Rick opened his Grimoire after we got a safe enough distance from everyone, Rick finally found a spell, "Alright, how do I do this?"

"The concept of spells is easy," Spike spoke up. "Simply speak the type and name of the spell while visualizing what you want it to look like." He pulled out his Grimoire. "Emerald Draconic Flame Creation Magic: Draconic Gauntlets." Spike's arms were then covered in green flames the hardened into heavy clawed gauntlets. "See, easy," The young drake smirked.

I slapped in the back of the head. As Spike the stinging away Iexplained the hard part to Rick. "Yes The concept is easy but the mental and physical fortitude it takes can be a strain but some, like Spike, can make a spell on the fly given the right circumstances. What are young dragon has forgotten to tell you is the stronger your connection to the mana you have the stronger your spells are. This connection can make casting spells hard or easy. The stronger your connection the more power you have but the hard it's going to be to control even basic spells. The weaker the harder it is to cast spells." I took a breather then continued. Twilight joined us as she always enjoyed any lecture. "Mana is the magical energy in the body and the air around us. FYI, if your mana isn't infinite as you are limited on how much you have, you deplete your mana you pass out from magical exhaustion. Only certain mages have the ability to take in mana from there surroundings. I have a similar skill in channeling anti-magic but I use Ymir as a conduit for csst my ancient magic. You should be able to do this since you can channel Chaos Emeralds."

"Right," Rick said, then had a look of focus "Here goes, Talons of the Fire Drake!" A pair of gauntlets appeared on Rick's arms, rigid dragon scales covering it, sharp claws and gave off a major heat, if the steam coming from Rick's fur wasn't any indication, they were also red with a few gold highlights.

"Nice," Spike held out his own gauntleted fist for a fist bump.

"Yea, nice work," I looked over the gauntlets. "But now you need to try and make up your own spell. Like a weapon or healing spell."

"Alright," Rick said, he focused again, and a burst of flame came from his hand, soon taking the form of sword, it had a dragons head for the guard, it had a few flame patterns on its silver blade, the handle was golden, while the dragon was a crimson red. "Whoa, what do you think? Did pretty good on the first try making a weapon spell."

“Good forming a basic weapon form but it’s not complete until you name it and it’s recorded in the Grimoire,” I pointed to his book. I know it’s not there because no writing showed up.” I opened my Grimoire and pulled out my Demon-Dweller sword and pointed to Rick. “Lets see how long the base shape flame sword can hold up.”

"Alright, need to know the characteristics of my new blade first before naming it," Rick said, getting into a defensive position, "The first one to yield, loses."

PvP-Asta v Pikachu

Asta and Rick separated and walked in opposite directions of the field. Spike decided to walk with Rick and give him a few tips on Asta. Though, even with these tidbits of information Spike still had no real understanding of Asta greater physical strength. He’d always held back in his sparring matches with him, Rainbow, and Aj. Even in his fight with the guards and the Shadowbolts. Even in the fight with Sombra that he witnessed himself first hand, Spike still had no idea of the total amount of force that the Dark King and Magic Knight exchanged. Spike also had no idea of the power Asta commanded in Black Form let alone the speed boost and Ancient magic that was provided to him by Ymir. Then there were the augmentations of Asta’s older brother had forwarded his younger brother during his tuning of Sombra’s soul and the crystal magic he gained from Sombra. Finally, there were Asta’s fighting styles, weapon, inventory, and his overall resiliency.

“Rick, you’re going to have to watch yourself when facing Asta,” Spike commented looking over his shoulder as they walked. “I can tell you a few things but Asta is literally a walking tank on steroids the can move faster than lightning!” He waved his arms in the air.

"I can run as fast as the speed of light, but still gonna use caution, thanks for the tip," Rick said,

“Watch out for him when gets close and in your face. He’s an expert swordsman but what Asta excels in are his many different forms of close-range hand-to-hand combat skills and basic understandings of multiple martial arts,” Spike added as he looked at Asta stretching. “ He has many weapons and other items in his Grimoire that allow him to channel his anti-magic. His main weapons are his Demon-Slayer Sword and Demon-Dweller Sword. Unless you can maintain a powerful and steady flow of mana to your own blade, then you might as well be swinging a stick at a mountain. Watch out if he pulls out a pair of his gauntlets. Dragon scale or light-armor otherwise,” Spike looked at the draconic fire sword while Rick took a couple of practice swing keeping Asta’s advice in mind as he did. “ I know you said fought in wars and Discord before but this is a little different. Asta is pacifist but he still enjoys a good match like every other martial artist there is and he is more than willing to kill if his friends are threatened or if he loses himself to his anger or other impulses.”

"Right, be careful of his anger levels, he's tough with sword or hand-to-hand, so I'll keep him at a distance, but close enough to attack,"

"Yea," Spike nodded. "I'm not sure of the level of control he has over his crystal magic but it could be very much as he's only had it for a few days. As far as his Ancient Magic goes, I can't say how much control he has over it as not even Twi has seen it. One last thing you have to know is Asta has a breathing technique that allows him to boost his physical attributes will beyond normal and it can be used in tandem with any of his other techniques or styles."

"And he calls me and Eve OP, he can take on Tirek, Discord, Sombra and Chrysalis alone with those kind of techniques."

“You’re not wrong in the fact that he’s physically OP but you have to remember that he’s still human, even if he’s surpassed normal human limits as he says. Asta still eats, sleeps,trains, and works like every pony in Ponyville. The mission we’re taking part in was his idea but he’s doing this by trying to go about thing legally but I don’t how long he’ll keep himself in check,” Spike looked at Asta with admiration in his eyes. “He still has a lot of normal physical limitations. He made it pretty clear that he wants to stay human and not turn into some all powerful creature like his brother is, not yet at least. But from what I heard it’s only a matter of time before all the Displaced turn into what’s called a Void Dweller.”

“The man is a living vessel for one of the most evil ponies ever while also keeping his own demon and power in check,” Spike started to walk away. “Be careful Rick and if he pulls out a form where the anti-magic is coming of his body… pray and dodge every attack long range and close up. Good luck.”

Spike walked back to the side of the train station where Ymir picked him up and placed him on her back.

'Oh boy, I'm in one heck of a fight,' Rick thought, processing what Spike said before tightening his hold on his sword, off to the side of the field were the ponies, Pinkie Pie had set up a betting booth after being told of Rick, so far many ponies chose Asta over Rick, Rick only had three Ponies betting for him, "You ready Asta?" Rick asked tightening his hold on his blade in one hand,

"Don't feel bad Rick," Asta took a demon sword in each hand as he turned his gaze from the betting stand back to Rick. He pointed them at the unnerved Pokemon while placing the Slayer closer to the ground and the Dweller higher at eye level. "You're a stranger to this world and I work here in town. It's only natural the locals would support me. Now," Asta looked Rick with disturbing grin," Come at me!"

Rick sent an Electro Ball from his hand straight at Asta, followed by a slash from his sword sending a wave of dragon fire.

Asta brought his swords up but instead of blocking or dodging the attack he took it straight on. In an instant Asta smirked and the brought the Demon-Slayer's sword down and stabbed it into the ground blocking the oncoming fire slash. The attack was then dispersed back into mana and absorb into Asta's blades.The knight started to snicker at what just happened causing Rick to look at him in confusion.

"Hehehe, wasn't sure that would work," Asta let go of the Slayer's handle and looked at his hand opening and closing it. He then turned his gaze to Rick with a wicked smirk. "Thanks for helping me test to see if I had access to the natural weather abilities of a Sky Dragon."

'Dang it! Gonna need a new tactic!' Rick thought, "You blades may absorb magic but they can't absorb Chaos energy, CHAOS SPEAR!" several Chaos energy based Spears appeared and flew at Asta, some hitting him,

“Man those things pack a bit of a kick,” Asta rolled his shoulder cause a few popping noises to be heard. “If I hadn’t been charged on lightning then more would have hit me. I take Spike advised you to stay as far out of my reach as possible. It’s a good strategy for most but,” RIck blinked and Asta was gone. he blinked again and he found himself surrounded by a small army of Asta but the were all kind of blurry. “What happens if you have multiple targets? And one can't tell where I am.”

Rick knew he had to think of something but what, there were too many clones, and his energy sense can't pick out the real one, 'I could go for an explosion based attack, but if I do that, than I'd be open for an attack, think Rick! Think!' an idea finally hit him, 'Its a bit idiotic, but it just might work,' "Ground type: DIG!" with that Rick dived into the ground, leaving a hole where he was standing, suddenly, more smaller holes appeared each under a clone, then dozens of Chaos Spears followed by bolts of lightning, striking every clone.

"Downsides are that I lost my afterimages and sight of my opponent," Asta mumble in annoyance as he dusted off his pants getting up from the ground. "Upsides are that I'm reenergized," He stabbed the swords into the ground he smirked as he placed a hand on the ground. “Also, I don't actually need to see you and I get to test a new move," Asta pulled his free hand back and punched the ground sending shockwaves outward from him causing the area to shift and ground to split. "Crystal Range!" The cracks glowed with white magic and out shot crystal spears from the ground in every direction.

Causing Rick to burst out due some crystals stabbing into his back, "YEOW! Dang it!" Rick shouted trying to get the crystals out of his back, leaving open to an attack, but before Asta could strike, his feet were knocked from under him, before he could hit the ground, a Spin Dash caused to land farther away, looking up to see at least six clones of Rick.

Asta quickly took up both his swords and infused them both with anti-magic and began to spin on one foot. “I'm not afraid to cut down clones, Black Hurricane!” Asta was now a huge spinning black tornado move in every direction seeking out and shredding everyone of Rick’s clones. He soon stopped and looked to the original. “Spike may have advised you to stay away from me but what he didn’t know that Ihave plenty of ways to come to you or to keep you at a distance too,” Asta pulled back the Dweller and infused it with anti-magic again. “Waning Moon, Black Crescent Slash!” He swung the Dweller at Rick send a huge slash of black anti-magic straight at Rick. “FYI, Anti-magic seeks out magic no matter where or how weak it is.”

Rick quickly dodged the attack, but the attack managed to graze his side, 'Dang it! My attacks are nothing against his!' Rick sent another wave of dragon fire at Asta, hoping to stall him, but like before the flames were absorbed, "Let's see how good you are compared to this!" Rick said, pulling out a Chaos Emerald, "CHAOS CONTROL!" then everything came to a stop even Asta, "Nows my chance!" quickly using Astas frozen state, Rick used Homing Attack, then used Iron Tail, sending Asta away, and knocking the swords out of his hands, then time returned to normal,

Asta landed and had the wind knocked out of him. He then got to his feet and looked at Rick then kicked his neck, “That hit was as hard as some of my old master before I surpassed my limits during my martial arts training. It’s going to take a lot more of those before I even get a cracked rib. My bones are reinforced with an evil unicorn’s magical crystal horn man. Nice job on knocking my swords away though,” Asta looked to his Grimoire and reach both arms into it and pulled them out show the Pokémon a set of armored gauntlets.

Asta brought a hand-up to his face and smiled at Rick sending chills down his spin. “Now,” Asta flexed his fingers and anti-magic began to waft from his armor. “We can get a little more serious.” Rick was fixing to gulp hard when he felt a great pain in his gut while he was suddenly sent flying by an armored palm. “Mush Tai; Iron Palm Technique,Thunder Strike!” RIck then felt a conclusive force throughout his entire body as he hit the ground.

Then all seven Chaos Emeralds surrounded Rick, in a flash, Rick had went into Super Mode, "NOW I'LL SHOW YOU!!" Rick shouted, kicking Asta into the air, using his speed, dealt tremendous blows to Asta, before stopping above Asta, "GALACTIC GUN!!!" the energy based attack sent Asta into the Everfree Forest, but Rick wasn't done as he sent wave after wave of energy based attacks onto Asta's position, creating a massive dust cloud,

The dust soon cleared and Rick landed to see Asta rolling his shoulder. Asta opened an eye to look at Rick. "Good move using the big blast, bad using the smaller ones. I sense energy man,” Asta then got a serious look on his face. “You just pushed all seven emeralds. You’ll never never do any real damage unless you can get handies with your opponents man.”

"Geez man, you sure are tough, guess I'm gonna have to step it up a notch," Rick said, his Grimoire appearing next to him, then a burst of flames Rick had full set of dragon scale armor, it was the same color as his gauntlets, red with gold highlights, his helmet had a more draconic feature to it, the jaws were opened wide for Rick's head, four horns that were a darker shade of red were on the back, two of them being larger, a faceplate, his boots looked like a three toed dragons foot, his thunderbolt shaped tail was replaced by a draconic one, "Armor of the Fire Drake!" Rick shouted, the same golden Aura surrounding him, indicating he was still in Super Mode.

“Pulling out the stops are ya,” Asta smirk as anti-magic begins to waft from him and his Grimoire. “That armor looks pretty tough and you being in super saiyan mode means more power. I don’t need myself beaten so badly that I’ll lose business do to injury.” Asta reached into his Grimoire with both arms and became completely enveloped in his anti-magic even covering his face. The anti-magic then started to harden into what appeared to be armor. Then after a few moments a fine layer of anti-magic started to peel off to reveal suit of red full-plate armor and in his right hand was a glowing black and red rapier of anti-magic with an ornate golden hilt.

“I completely forgot about my armor,” Asta looked over his rapier as he held it up to the light. “It would've been useful in protecting myself from Sombra’s soul infusion.” His gaze shifted to Rick. “Not used to move in this full-plate stuff so I’m gonna have to up my strength just to be able to move as freely as I can but it’ll still be slower than if I wasn’t in anything at all.” Asta took in a deep breath and began to control the oxygen flow in his blood and body. “Concentrated Breathing,” Asta body sent a slight shockwave rattling his armor. Asta whipped his sword to his side and then brought it with the hilt base at the side of his helm as he looked straight ahead. “You thought I was good with swords, wait till you see my single-blade techniques coupled with my martial arts. Though, I haven’t used them together much before so I have to say that it’s a rather difficult process. Now, let’s go again!” Asta lunged forward and unleashed a fury of forward thrusts upon Rick striking him in several spots on his armor slowly piercing the armor while simultaneously drain it of it mana and converting it into anti-magic.

"Oh no you don't!" Rick said, using a palm thrust to send Asta back, before flying up, "KAMEHAMEHAMEHAAAAAAA!" a massive column of energy came at the heavily armored knight.

"Black Out Thrust!" Asta thrust the rapier straight up at the on coming energy blast. He sent his own column of of Black anti-magic at the energy blast. "I can't fly without my wing or my ancient magic, but that doesn’t mean I can’t reach you in the air.” Asta kicked off the ground and kept kicking until he was level with Rick. “Let’s see if you can keep up with these,” Asta let out a fury of thrust sending multiple black shots at Rick, “Black Out Arrows!”

"In fact I can." Rick said as Dodge each shot, then launch himself at Asta, delivering a power punch to the guy, cracking some of the armor, then flying back out of reach, then a flaming bow appeared in his hands, Rick fired multiple fire arrows, each landing far from Asta, before exploding.

“You managed to crack my armor,” Asta smirked as grabbed his left arm and ripped off the armor causing it to turn back into anti-magic. “Try this,” Asta snapped his fingers and thousands of stone hands came from the ground and grabbed a hold of the Pokémon and pulled him to the ground. “Vanyalí deloi malthinae lam (Ancient Magic Earth’s Bending Hands)! It’s a sealing spell the cancels the target energy completely ki or otherwise.” Asta walked over and pulled out the Demon-Slayer and placed it on top of Rick and his armor broke down.

"Good thing I have a backup plan," Rick said, then a massive blade torn through Stone hands, landing right next to Rick, it was the BLADE OF OLYMPUS!! Rick grabbed the handle of the blade, the fact that the blade didn't absorb any energy from Rick meant he wielded it before, he pointed the blade at Asta, "Let's see how you can handle this!" Rick then charged at Asta, swinging his blade up, Rick managed to slice away some armor, then with a few more swings, Asta’s armor was almost gone.

“A god slaying blade,” Asta remarked in annoyance. “Did you even put any real effort into honing your abilities and skill that you already possessed?” He returned his armor to his Grimoire and pick up his Slayer sword. Not much of the clothing Asta had on was left either. He did a once over of himself. “Man the girls aren’t going to be happy about this.”

"Did you forget, I fought in the war against Sombra and Nightmare Moon, so of course I put effort into honing my abilities,"

“I’m talking about your skills when you were human my friend,” Asta pulled a spare shirt from his Grimoire. “Thank you Rarity for spare clothing. She’ll be pissed that one of her recent creations was shredded.”

"I really don't remember much of my old life, when I got imprisoned in stone, I gotten slight amnesia, but I do remember taking sword lessons, so, yeah," Rick said,

“Lessons on hacking and slashing,” Asta rolled his eyes. “You’re very sloppy with that thing.” He brought his sword up and held it out in front of him and began to concentrate on it on it. The anti-magic began to flow from the blade into Asta’s body. Soon the entire right half of Asta’s body was covered in anti-magic forming a horn, sharpened fangs, a singular wing, and turning his right eye red. The Slayer was at the same time cover in spider-like veins of anti-magic. “Congrats, Rick you get to face my demon form. aka Black Asta,” Asta pointed his left hand at the Pokémon showing of the blackened dragon rider’s mark that spiraled up his left arm. “In this state I can easily match your super form’s max speed and power while still increasing my own further if I need to. Your Olympus Blade can’t absorb my black power either. If it did it would corrupt and destroy that weapon.” Asta gaze was dead sit on Rick and the aura he was ensueding was that of bloodlust and death.

"Oh shoo-" was all Rick could say before being launched into the base of a mountain by a palm thrust, also making him lose his sword, boulders and other debris came crashing down onto Rick, burying him, Asta flew to where Rick was buried, and saw some of the rubble began glowing red, along with some debris began rising up due to an unknown energy, then melted rock came flooding out, bursting from the lava, was Rick letting out a draconic roar, he was in a new form, blue fiery wings sprouted from his back, his feet now resembled a dragons actual scaly foot, some flames flew around Rick's fur, his eyes became the same fiery blue as the wings with blue flames coming from the sides, his pupils were a ruby red, and were draconic, his tail still the same thunderbolt shape, Rick bared his now draconic teeth in a growl.

"Say hello to my final form, Dragon Mode," Rick said, his voice deeper, sending a shiver down Astas spine,

“MmmhahhahhAhhhahhahahh!” Asta laughs uncontrollably. “I got the chills brother. “If you’re this strong with only your power wait till you start accessing your demonic powers.” he pointed at the five-leaf Grimoire. Asta charged forward and the two Displaced went at each other in a no hold bar brawl. The to were evenly matched in terms of power but Asta had the upper hand in defending as he would block many of Ricks strikes with the flat of his sword while counter a palm strike. The two fought on for what seemed like hours to them but was actually minutes to everyone else.

Suddenly there was only silence as both parties stop and stared at one another both of the fighters breathing heavily. Both of them had wide grins plastered on their faces.

Asta looked down at his right arm out of the corner of his eye, then back to Rick, “Have to say man, you make Sombra look like a pushover.”

"Yeah well that's what I get for having the spirit of an actual dragon fused with mine, too bad your blades don't absorb my dragon energy, would have given you an upper hand," Rick said with a toothy smile,

“I have a secret,” Asta placed both hands on the hilt of the Demon-Slayer as he raised the huge sword above his head. “My anti-magic is actually closer in relation to energy than mana. And all it takes is time for my blades to analyze new energy or magic that can be integrated and then converted into my power.” Suddenly Asta began to draw anti-magic from every direction around him and collect it into his sword. “Total Concentrated Breathing,” Asta once again controlled his blood flow and increased his speed and power while the sword continued to grow.

“Black Divider!” Asta roared as he brought the sword down hard and fast kneeling Rick with edge knocking him out of Dragon mode straight to the ground in a huge crater in the middle of the Everfree. Asta flew down on the edge and looked to the unconscious Pokémon, “Looks like I over did a bit,” he jumped down and pulled out a water bottle and proceeded to dump out the contents on Rick head. “Wakey wakey.”

"Man, I must be getting a little rusty, usually no one is able to do that," Rick said, getting up, and Asta could see the various wounds from the battle, Rick's arm was limp with blood coming from a deep cut on top of his shoulder, blood came out of his mouth, large cuts or gashes all over his body, and he appeared to be limping, "Nice fight, I do want to keep going, but my body is telling me I should rest, maybe next time I'll kick your butt for sure, but for now, I yield," Rick said, grabbing the God Slaying blade, and putting it in his pocket dimension, "Think I'll add some defenses against your absorbing abilities, so that way I don't run out of energy too fast, you did well going up against me in Dragon Mode, Thanos couldn't keep up with it, nor any big time villain,"

“The only reason I’m standing right now is one I’m used to taking beatings have for years, two your lack of formal martial arts training and hand to hand combat is severely lacking, three, you rely way to much on energy based power,” Asta got on Rick good side and pulled his arm around his neck. “Finally it’s my Black Form. I wouldn’t be standing right now if it wasn’t still invoked.”

"Guess you're right, since being free from my prison, I haven't really done any training, guess I was afraid Celestia might find me again and stone me, or worse," Rick said, said, "So, when I get back home, I'm gonna train, not just to hone my abilities, but to protect my friends, maybe I can give ya a call for some training, you can be the coach seeing how you know about this."

“Let’s get you to Shy first, no offense but in this state you’d be lucky to survive an encounter with a breezie,” Asta chuckled as he picked Rick up and put him on his back then proceeded to fly back to the train station. “Sorry for going overboard with that last attack. And I think I have something that will help you with your martial arts skills.” Asta quickly landed on the side of Ymir where no pony could see them and gently set Rick down while he then dispelled his Black Form and collapsed from fatigue.

“Pushed yourself to hard again,” Ymir remarked with a snicker as she looked at her weary partner and his friend.”Shy isn’t going to like this site.”

“Shut… up… and … get… Shy,” Asta huffed back at sarcastic dragon.

Asta girlfriend was quick to reach Rick and immediately started to heal him while scolding The two Displaced at the same time.

"Heh, that's Fluttershy for you, good to see something's the same, in another universe, she would have been uncaring and selfish," Rick said as his injuries healed up, thanks to Fluttershy and his regeneration, "Hey Asta, I think pinkies throwing a party for us, if my hunch is correct, after all, a new friend to welcome, and probably something about the fight, think we should go to see it? Also, can you help with my arm, it's dislocated."

"Hehe, you're right, but try anything with the girls and I'll finish that fight," Asta pulled a cane from his Grimoire and got up off the ground and then help Rick. Man, if your this strong while out of shape I’d hate to face off with my older brother. Let alone a Void Dweller,” Asta shuddered at the thought. “We can either have the Spa twins or a local doctor help with your arm. I can reset it but it would hurt like the fires of hell are in your arm for a good while. I don’t see why Shy’s healing spell didn’t help with that though.” Asta rubbed his chin when he noticed just one of the ponies they needed, “Hey there’s Aloe now, let's get this over with because I’m sensing the pinkie-pedo searching for us.”

"Alright, and don't worry about the girls, I won't try anything, I'm not like those type of guys, and wouldn't be the first time I felt the fires of Tartarus." Rick said,

"Pinkie is asking for you and Rick, Asta," Ymir whispered in the back of her partner's mind.

"Mhm. Come on Rick lets see if we can't get Aloe to rest that arm of yours. We're already on Pinkie' s radar so we don't have long," Asta rolled his eyes.

The two Displaced made their over to Aloe, she accepted to help Rick's arm, after she relocated it, although quite painful, the two were immediately found by Pinkie.

"There you two are! Come on! I've got a surprise for you two!" she said,

“One moment Pinkie, I think we should run by Rarity’s first. Rick here needs an outfit,” Asta stopped the party pony in her tracks causing her hair to deflate. “Here ya go. Some new friends to play with but be gentle with them,” He handed Pinkie her poke balls.

“Ooo! My very own Pokémon partners!” Pinkie jumped around happily.

“That’ll keep her busy for about an hour and I was serious about that outfit Rick," Asta pointed at the Pikachu. “Can't have you running around this place accused of streaking. Even if you don’t like it.”

"Alright, that's fine with me but," Rick said, "I already have an outfit ready," Rick pressed a button on his Bio-Gauntlet, and a pile of neatly folded clothes appeared, grabbing them, he spun around so fast he was ready in an instant, his outfit consisted of a black T-shirt with a leather jacket over it, white sweatpants with a black stripe on the sides, studded leather gloves, and his bandana was still around his neck, "I'm always prepared."

“I hear ya man but I still have business with Rarity on your behalf anyways, and I’d never hear the end of it if I didn’t bring you to her as a modeling challenge,” Asta smoked as the duo walked along. “Also, I’d rather get my ass chewed out about losing her shirt now then when I get back from Savanna. I also need a new a new knight’s robe. If this operation goes well or well for the most part part I might take up more of an active role in the world and start up a branch of Magic Knights here and seeing as how you have a Grimoire you’ll need a robe making you and honorary Black Bull or you can get one of you own designed buy our local Fashionista. I think I might get her to make a trench coat instead of just a cape,” Asta held his chin as he looked up to the sky pondering. “What are your thoughts on starting a squad here? I’ve never been one to take the lead role before. Nerves always held me back from doing so when I was making movies and was offered the chance of a starring role.”

"I actually wouldn't mind, I created Pikachu to the leader of the Shadow League, a reformed villain team, so making a squad here doesn't sound so bad." Rick said,

"Asta wasn't a villain and if you join my squad you be a Black Bull," Asta remarked as the reached Rarity's shop. "After you."

"I'm not saying you're a villain, I'm just saying I've had some experience about squad making," Rick said, "And I wouldn't mind, but the name Black Bull, is there a meaning behind it?"

“Mmmm….” Asta thought as the duo walked into the shop. “Well, Captain Yami was the original founder of the Black Bulls after being promoted to captain by the Wizard King but the king was the one who came up with the name of the squad. Yami was a dark magic user and his name translates to darkness or black in Japanese and many other middle-eastern languages. Captain Yami is pretty stubborn to. To the point that. some call him bull headed. I take it that the Wizard King combined these together to make the name. For me though, I just like the name.” Rarity came out from her kitchen with her teapot in hand.

“Asta, good to see you. How can I help you?” The fashion pony as gleefully.

“Hey Rarity, I … ah… kind’ve got… ah… a few things I need to talk to ya about,” Asta managed to spit out while gulping down his nerves.

Asta explained the happenings of the morning and gave her the Pokémon. Rarity was both happy and ticked at the same time. After a brief butt chewing Rarity joyfully took Ricks measurements and listened to Asta’s request for a Black Bull themed trench coat and a few Black Bulls robes for the girls, Spike, Rick, and possible future members. Asta helped out by doing the robes for the girls as Rarity already had their current measurements. This freed her up to fashion Rick a few sets of clothes. One for everyday, one for nice weather and semi-nice get together, and lastly a suit for formal events like the Galloping Gala or a nice date. Rarity than got to work on Asta’s coat when Asta realized they didn’t have the symbol of the Black Bulls symbol. Rarity recalled it from when the first met and immediately started to work on one for the back of the coat.

When Asta looked at Rick, Rick was staring out the window, a look of worry on his face,

"You look like Dash if she would've just heard that Daring Doo was coming to an end," Asta chuckled as he patted Rick on the back. "Here ya go bro," Asta dropped a Black Bull Baseball cap on the Pokemon's head.

“There ya go, a little more modern just for you. Now what's with the worry warism?” Asta looked out the window.

"It's just, I wasn't the only one to be sent to Equestria, I had a friend with me, and when I woke up, she was nowhere to be found, I looked all over before I was stoned, but no luck, she was Displaced as Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe, for all I know, she could have been trapped in a mirror like the show, gem cracked and everything, that's what's worrying me." Rick said, tears threatening to escape from the corners of his eyes.

“Seems that this was some pony really special to your heart,” Rarity came out and handed Asta his coat. “If she’s like you and Asta could she be in her own version of Equestria or it more likely she was sent to you version of reality?” She looked at Asta trying to get some form of answer.

Asta pulled on his new coat with the Black Bulls crest on the back and a smaller one on the front. “Perfect fit as always Rares, so light to.”

“Of course dear,” Rarity smiled. “I enchanted it to be light and cool in hot and warm weather and warm in the cold. It was a tricky spell that I usually reserve for my high end clients that come from more exotic locals.” She turned back to Rick and placed a hand on his shoulder while giving him a sympathetic smile. “Dear, I'm sure you’ll be reunited with your friend soon. Look at Asta.”

“Yea man, I’m a prime example for you,” Asta looked at with who sympathized with the Pokémon more than his new friend realized. “I lost my older brother for almost ten years but I never thought he was dead even when our own family said he was. Though that ultimately drove me and my parents apart. I did meet up with him a few days ago. I was so happy. Of course, for him it was a reunion fifteen thousand years in the making but I could tell he was overjoyed to know how I was. my point is you can’t ever give up. Especially on friends and family. I have an extended family that spans the void that I still have to meet at that.” He smiled as he laugh a bit nervously while he scratched the back of his head.

"You're both right, I would never give up, we'll meet again someday," Rick said, a smile on his face, "

“If your friend is Lapuz then that makes her a gem,”Asta thought and then snapped his fingers and pointed to Rarity who blinked at Displaced in confusion. “Rarity could you her gem locating spell to find her. Mirror or not.”

Rarity thought on the idea and nodded in agreement. “I think Asta’s idea has much merit to it. If you have a Rarity that uses gemstones in her work as I do then she will most definitely have access to the very same gem locating spell.”

"You're right, maybe my Rarity can help me, after all she is also hiding me from Celestia. So it could work!" Rick said,

“Ya know,” Asta thought. “I bit if we asked my big brother he’d be able to help you out. He’s the one who help me in the Crystal Empire in freeing Princess Amore and again in placing a couple of seals on Sombra while fixing the Crystal issue, the evil stabbed me with his own horn when he tried to take over my body.”

“Oh, how is the Princess?” Rarity asked with eager eyes.

Asta smirked and gave a thumbs up. “She doing great. I got a letter from Cadence and Shining the next day say she was already up and about and wondering who it was who freed her. They gave her my name and she wrote me a letter say she wants to meet me the next time I’m in the Empire.Thanks be after Iget back From Savanna.” He turned to Rick. “So, what do ya say man? Wanna meet my big brother?”

"Sure thing," Rick said giving a thumbs up,

“Let’s go meet up with Pinkie first though,” Asta thumbed to the door. “We left her with her Pokémon and she’s probably done making friends with them while also do with memorizing her moves,” He pulled out his pocket watch. “Yea we need to get this stuff done. No doubt we already missed our train but that’s why we use Shy and the others’ Knight Status.”

“That was nice thinking darling on your part,” Rarity started to gather materials and put them away.

“Not my idea,” he and Rick headed out the door. “It was actually my bro Spike’s.”

"So, what kind of party do you think Pinkie made?" Rick asked, "She always makes a party based on what happened."

“I learned to never question the Pinkie, man,” Asta huffed as the made their way down the street to Sugarcube Corner. “Either a Pokémon, Congrats Asta on beating Rick, but it most definitely a welcome to Ponyville party for you thrown in to it. Oh, and when we call my brother, don't miss your draws. We more than likely won’t need to summon him but I don’t really feel like having Celestia and Luna showing up here either. So, yeah we’ll call him first then we might summon him but only if we absolutely have to.”

"K,"

The duo walked in to Sugarcube Corner, and were met with a grand party with a Banner that read “Welcome to Ponyville and better luck next time Rick!”

"You know, sometimes it's scary that Pinkie can do things that defies all logic, like her parties, for example," Rick said, as they entered Sugarcube Corner, " Like how did she know who won? We were deep in the Everfree man!"

“Never ever question the Pinkie man,” Asta remarked as he rolled his eyes. “She got a four-leaf clover Grimoire that is based out of wind magic. Immediately when she got it she knew how to use it. I stopped asking after that. Time for cake,” Asta clapped his hands together and went for the red velvet with devils chocolate icing.

Only for it to be taken by Rayquaza, "Forgot to mention, Rayquaza loves cake so much he'll come out of his Master Ball, so you have to get to it faster when he's around," Rick said to Asta with a smirk. The ponies only looked but went back to partying.

“Great,” Asta remarked begrudgingly. He then proceeded to grab two more pieces of cake leaving Rick to mingle with the ponies for a bit. Rayquaza saw this and tried to again go for them but Pinkie Pie zipped in and presented with Pokémon with his own personal cake. “Thanks Pinkie,” Asta smirked and joined Shy in the corner of the room. Although she had become more outgoing since his arrival she still preferred to stay out of the main group.

“Here ya go Shy,” Asta said setting a slice of cake in front of his girlfriend. “It’s been a long morning for our group hasn’t it?”

“Yea,” she looked down her cake with a far off gaze.

“Shy,” Asta looked at Fluttershy. “If there’s something bothering you, Ikm here to listen.”

“I know and I planned on telling you when we had time on the way to the Caribou Kingdom,” She said with a false grin. “For now though, let’s just enjoy everypony’s company.”

“Alright then, but we’re going to talk in depth later,” Asta said trying his best to be sympathetic. He kissed her forehead and rejoined Rick in the main group. “What do you think of my neighbors?”

"There pretty cool, though I would watch out for Filthy Rich, he threatened me after I didn't sell one of my Pokemon, no doubt he would go after somebody else," Rick said,

“Yea, just ignore the annoying greedy dirtbag,” Asta waved his hand in front of his face. “He’s ticked at me because I can undermine his little business operations. One of the advantages of working for the Apple family, at the lumber yard, and general labor for little to nothing. Now how about we get my big bro on the inter dimensional horn,” he pulled out his pocket watch and let it drop dangling it by it’s chain as it swung to and fro in the air. “Ready to talk to a true Displaced?” Asta smirked at the Pikachu.

Rick gave a thumbs up in response,

“Lets see, where can we go for this where we won’t call a bunch of attention to ourselves,” Asta looked around the bakery. “I guess it’d be best to go outside around the back. Come o man.”

Rick and Asta slipped away from the party and went through the back door of the kitchen. Asta looked around and made sure there were no ponies around in the general area. He held up his watch and said the name ‘Edward Elric’ to the watch. Suddenly the watch popped open and the arms began to spin rapidly around the clock face. As this happened a holographic screen was projected from the watch. There on the display show a tall blonde haired man whose hair was well past his shoulder in a black muscle shirt flipping through a book with a little alicorn girl in his lap. She had astral red starlight hair tied in a ponytail with a pair of dark blue sapphire eyes and a white horn similar to Celestia’s with a pair of red wings. She was wearing a white dress with a cyan ribbons tied around her waist. After a few moments the man noticed that he was being watched.

“Hello,”the gave a snide smile at the two Dispalced looking at him. “Wow, Asta twice in a day. Do you really miss talking to your big brother that much?’

Asta merely rolled his eyes and then spoke with a bit of annoyance in his voice. “As much as I do miss having you around this call isn’t for me Allen. It’s for my buddy Rick here,” Asta put his arm around Rick’s neck. “He needs some help and seeing as your the oldest and most powerful Displaced I currently know-”

“You thought I might be able to help him out with his dilemma, “Allen/Edward continued. “Well, I might be able to but it really depends on him and on what the problems is though. Still, I’m more than willing to try. I might not be able to do much but I’ll do what I can.”

There was a sudden disturbance from the little alicorn who had started to paw at Allen/Edward’s face in an attempt to get his attention. She then started to speak a bit, “Dada who dat?” She pointng at Asta and Rick.

“Star,” Allen/Edward pointed to Asta and then to Rick. “This is your Uncle Asta and his friend Rick. Gentlemen, this is my daughter, Morning Star. Say hi Star.”

“Hewo Uncie Asa un Ick ,” Morning Star waved at the duo. Asta was doing his best not to laugh at the way his little niece had pronounced the Pokemon’s name. He still let out a snicker.

“Go over and play with your toys for a bit honey,” Allen/Edward set his daughter down. “Daddy needs to talk with Uncle Asta and Mr.Rick.”

“K,” Star giggled off screen.

Allen/Edward waved at his little girl as she went to play and then turned back to Rick and Asta. “Now Mr. Rick, what is your dilemma?”

"Well, I have a friend who is missing in my Equestria, and I have no clue where she is, I even looked all over the planet, so that's my dilemma." Rick said, his ears twitched and he moved his head to the side, dodging a piece of cake that came from the party. "Close one."

“Missing person, aye,” Allen/Edward nodded. “Have you tried asking for help? What about your Celestia or better Luna? Perhaps Twilight?”

"No go on the Princesses, Lunas still trapped on the moon and Celestia wants my head, and Twilight, no, just no."

“Hahaha! She’s still that bad?” Allen/Edward bellowed. “Tell me about this friend of your and your world as well as a brief rundown of your story if you don’t mind.”

"Me and my friend were sent during the time of Discord’s rule, only she wasn't around, I fought Discord, and won, befriended the princesses, fought Sombra, ending up getting beat up badly, lost the Empire, still no sign of my friend, Nightmare Moon came along, me and Celestia banished her, then there was 'MY'" Rick made air quotations with his fingers, "secret plan on killing Celestia, she stoned me, then Sweetie Bell came along and freed me, just two weeks before Nightmare Moon's return. Now I'm hiding out in her home." Rick said, finishing his backstory, "Now for my friend, she was Displaced as Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe, and for all I know, she could be trapped in a mirror with her gem cracked, or she could be deep in the Earth for all I know, heck, I even tried using my Psychic abilities to try and contact her through her mind, didn't work."

“Hmmm… If she is trapped in the mirror then she’d have to interact with someone enough before he conciseness becomes active enough to communicate through the mirror. Only then would you be able to find her using a Psychic scan,” Allen/Edward explained as went to nearby bookshelf and pulled out a book.

Star came up to her father with a little doll that resembles Twilight. “Dada Untie Twi,”

“I see honey,” He rubbed his daughter head lovingly and rejoined the others. “She could also still be in the ground stuck in some sort of dormant state or hibernation. All the signs say ithat she is seal in someway. If she’s not sealed away she might have own cloaking skill or she’s in another Equestria.”

"No, I called the Merchant, said she was sent to my Equestria with me, so she could be in a dormant state, but Gems don't hibernate, they just go into their gem if their body is damaged, then they come out good as new, but they don't hibernate," Rick said, his memory of Steven Universe kicking in,

Allen/Edward turned a page in his book and looked up to check on his daughter before returning his attention to Asta and Rick. "Well then she's stuck in some form of sealed state. I recommend you start checking everywhere you can think of that might contain an ancient mirror. Say the castle in Everfree for starts and antique shops. If she's not in the mirror then she's in the ground. You're friends with Sweetie Belle and Rarity by extension I'm guessing. Ask her if she'll help out with her gem locating spell."

He turned a page in his book again. A door opened in the background and a worried motherly voice could be heard, "Ed, is Morning Star with you? Luna is worried cause she hasn't seen her for a while."

“She’s down here with me Faust,” Ed called out and then turned his attention back to Rick. “Anything else on your mind Pikachu?”

"Not really, though, as a token of my thanks Ed, I'm giving you an Optimus Prime Mech, if you want,"

Allen/Edward waved his hand in front of his as he shook his head. “I very much appreciate the offer but I wouldn’t need it. I know,” His eye opened why as he snapped his fingers. He left and quickly returned. “Take these if you don’t mind. Send to Asta,” a small portal open on his end and he sent a couple of items through.

A portal appears next to Asta, dropping out popped an Autobot symbol and an alchemist’s pocket watch. “My token an a link to others who have it obviously. The symbol is the token of a friend I help out some time ago. I wonder how Prime is doing?”

"Thanks," Rick said, then a cake splattered on his head, "It was nice meeting Ed, but I got a certain Pegasus I need to get payback on,"

“And I have a little girl to put down for a nap,” Allen/Edward gave the duo a soft smile and then a serious look. “If you continue on journey you’ll find her Rick and do your best to save Luna from herself. Good bye.” The watch’s feed cut off and Asta put it away.

“You go get Dash while I get something to drink,” Asta chuckled.

"With stinking pleasure," Rick said, looking up, seeing Rainbow Dash quickly retreating, then speeding after her. The sound of Rainbows screams could be heard followed by, "LETS SEE HOW YOU LIKE GETTING CAKE OUT YOUR FUR FOR WEEKS!!"

“Glad I have just the hair on the top of my head,” Asta blinked.

Suddenly, he remembered he still had to pass out the robes to the girls. He was still hesitant about this as he wasn’t sure if this was the right move on his part as he had been telling everyone he just wanted a peaceful life here in Equestria, and it had been that for the most part. He then recalled his brother’s words during their mental session in the Crystal Empire.

“I admire you wanting to live a peaceful life little brother but peace only last so long for the Displaced. Our kind draw in trouble no matter the person we are or species. When the time comes for you make the choice to be active or not I leave it to you. Each of use is totally different when it comes to what we are and want. I know the original Asta is good heart but don’t let his impulses dictate your choices as the have been. I’ll help but in the end you still have to make the decision yourself.”

Asta knew his older brother was right and this was why he wanted to go to the Caribou Kingdom. This was the defining moment for him to choose if would be active as a true Magic Knight or just another passive person. Sure there were his actions in the Crystal Empire but these weren’t for his alone. This time it was his choice to do something and the outcome would fall on him. Asta looked at his reflection in his glass of cider when a shadow moved closer to him onto the wall that he was leaning on.

“Yes Haze,” Asta muttered to the Shadowbolt Vice Captain.

“Sir Asta, everything is set up and ready to go. We have procured a base of operations for you and the Elements to utilize upon your arrival into the city,” Haze whispered to Asta as not to draw attention to his shadow form. “Our units are currently on standby. What are your orders until your arrival?”

“Keep as quest as you can but gather whatever intel you can as well,” Asta took a swig of his cider and then threw the cup in a nearby trash can. “If there are any mares and fillies that you deem are in need of help then take action if you can without
being seen. If you can't do it without being discreet then don’t do it at all. Absolutely one is to be called under any circumstances. Capture and detain. Alter their minds with magic if you have to. Not a single death can be permitted, at least not right now.”

“It shall be done Sir Asta,” Haze bowed discreetly in his shadow form and then departed to relay the message of the Shadowbolt network.

Asta turned his attention back to the party. “Time to get things underway. I have to speak with both Shy and Aj. Dread both those,” he turned his attention to the whizzing rainbow and streak of yellow running in circles around each other.

Rick then stopped, "Ah, forget it, I already smushed enough cake in your hair that it’ll be hard enough to get out for months,"

"Hey Pokemon!" Vinyl said "Get up here and sing man, let's hear your stuff!"

Asta took this as a shock as he looked at Rick. “You sing?” The knight pointed at the Pokémon.

"Not all the time, my singing came from my human life," Rick said as he took the mic, "But yes."

"So what ya gonna sing?" DJ PON3 asked,

Rick just smirked and whispered the song into the DJs ear,

Dark appeared and played the drums while Rick starting playing the guitar,

The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster, and as he sang that last part, his eyes became black pits with red glowing dots in them, blood coming out of them.

I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control, here's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster Rick sang, his look normal
I, I feel like a monster Dark sang next
I, I feel like a monster EXE sang,
I, I feel like a monster then all of them.

“I get why you two choice that one,” Asta remarked with a smirk as he went over to Vinyl and whispered in her ear. She gave him a thumbs up and looked at Rick singling him to toss Asta the mic. Suddenly jazz music started to play as Asta caught the mic and started to sing.

Diga diga doo, diga doo doo

Diga diga doo, diga doo

Swing it

Asta took Fluttershy by the hand and started to swing dance with her. He twirled her around the effortlessly with one hand and then gave her a quick kiss on the lips then twirled her back into her chair. Shy went as bright red as a fresh tomato and then hid her face while Asta gave her a quick wink.

Diga diga doo, diga doo doo

Asts finished his song and tossed the mic back to Vinyl. He went on his way and sat down next to Fluttershy who was still reeling from the earlier dance. Asta saw Rick as he made his way to the table. He looked like he had something on his mind.

"Asta, something tells me this party is about to get a little more exciting," Rick whispered to him, his ears twitching like mad, and he was holding a six shooter close to him, but hidden from everybody else, "I count three at the Bell tower, two behind the Sugarcube, five on roofs, and one in the crowd wearing a black cloak, they have us surrounded,"

Asta looked around and noticed the figures. The were giving off a very malevolent ki.

“They’re definitely not friends,” Asta got up and pulled out his Grimoire and donned his gauntlets. He cracked his knuckles. “Wonder if these guys have something to do with the Timberwolf attack that happened a few weeks ago? Guess we’ll find out.”

End chapter

Chapter 13

Both Asta and Rick silently prepared for the upcoming fight, quickly telling Twilight to tell everybody the parties over, the two began to head over to the location of the cloaked figure, "Careful Asta, I looked their minds, they're vamps, don't let manage to get their grubby claws on ya," Rick said to his friend,

Asta looked back at Rick,” No they're not vampires as it barely even noon, but definitely they’re definitely some form of undead though,” Asta cracked his knuckles. “Time to put this Crystal magic and Sky Dragon Speed to the test,” he smirked as he looked to the bell tower.

"I know these types, Asta, their from my world, they're Ancient Vampires, they are older than normal Vampires, like Dracula, they are twice as deadly than your everyday vampires, nearly immune to sunlight but not fully, so a few UV rounds should do it, and I have a feeling I know this cloaked figure,so be careful," Rick loaded liquid UV rounds into his six-shooter, noticing the ponies peeking from their homes,

"Hello my friends, how nice to see something relatively normal in this strange world," the cloaked figure said, voice that of a female, Asta could see the faint glow of blood-red eyes, "Could you kindly surrender a few ponies as a temporary peace, we are incredibly thirsty," Rick merely pointed his gun at the cloaked Vampire, Asta knew it was a Colt Python, but with a Gold and Silver color scheme,

"Not another step lady, and as for the whole surrendering ponies to you ain't happening!" Rick said, pulling the hammer back, the sun all but disappeared, making way for the moon, "Now show us who you are, so that way we can chase ya outta town," the vampire merely chuckled,

Asta was doing his best to keep himself restrained. To think that vampires somehow followed Rick here gave him quite a few concerns but those were pushed to the back of his mind at this point. No, right now Asta was angry at this vampire woman for coming to his home and demanding that they turn over his friends for food. The only things he was seeing at this time were his targets and the only thing on his wren how he was going to rip them apart. Asta was only barely keeping himself from doing so by the thoughts of the ponies and his friends that meant so much to him and how these vampires had them in the crosshairs. Asta was gritting his teeth at this point, although somewhere this had stemmed from the original Asta these weren’t his character’s impulses he was keeping himself from giving into, they were his own. He was gripping his own hand so tightly that Rick noticed it had started to bleed while Asta’s whole body was trembling.

"Calm down Asta, don't let them rile you up," Rick said to his friend, trying his best to calm him down,

"Better listen to the rat, boy, and as for who I am," the cloaked person removed the cloak, revealing a woman who looks in her twenties, blonde hair, and pale skin, but not too pale, she almost could pass for human, Asta heard Rick gasp, looking to his friend out of the corner of his eye, he could see the recognition on his face,

"NARISSA! What are you doing here, actually, how did you even get here!?"

“Nraaaaaa,” Asta growled at Narissa through his teeth. His anger was causing him to tap into his latent weather magic raised the temper of the air around him. The rising temperature around him made was getting dry. “You…” sparks of electricity started to come from his left arm. Asta started to lean forward readying to run at the

"Asta NO!" Rick said, putting his arm in front of him, "You don't know what she's capable of, she's a Vampire Queen, equal footing to Drac, maybe stronger seeing how she killed him, so don't let anger control your actions,"

Rick knew that Asta's anger wasn't misplaced but he had to get the Knight back to his senses somehow or he'd have a bigger issue than just an extremely powerful vampire on his hands. Rick himself wasn't one presently recovered from his earlier fight with Asta either so he was going to need his friend help in the upcoming fight with Narissa and her lackeys. To do that though Asta needed to be in the right state of mind.

"Asta, we're both nearly spent from our battle, so if you charge blindly into battle, you're gonna get hurt or worse," Rick said to his friend, managing to calm him down a little, "We both can take her, but not if you're acting like this, so calm down, and think about the situation, we know they are all over town, and one of us alone isn't enough, but together, these bit heads won't stand a chance!"

“I’m goin to rip every last vampire apart if you so much as try and lay a single claw on my home and my friends,” Asta snarled through his teeth. His eyes shifted to the distance and his partner, ‘Ymir, you are to protect Shy and any others at all cost. Tell her to tell the other Elements to use their Grimoires and to not hold back if they come across anyone with pale skin and or in a black cloak. They out to be eradicated.”

‘I’ll tell her now,’ the obsidian Sky Dragon related in a low growl, her rider’s anger sparking her own to come to the surface pushing out her usually calm and relaxed demeanor.

“Why are you here vampire? And answer... carefully,” Asta was still straining to keep himself in check narrowed his gaze on the vampire. “Depending on your answer, will determine how I end you.”

"A straight to the point type of guy huh? Very well, I am here for him," Narissa said pointing at Rick, "He will be an excellent addition to my clan. Now step aside boy, and let us claim our prize."

Asta’s anger deepened to the point that an overwhelming aura came from his body. His right arm and hand began to twitch. Soon Asta’s right arm was a blackened crystal revealing the bones inside. The appendage started just above his elbow and ran down his whole lower arm into the hand that was now a claw-tipped with a crimson hew. The air around Asta began to whip and whirl reflect his own internal struggle to maintain control. His hair started to become an ash blonde mist while his eyes turned red with slit pupils. Asta’s k-9 teeth turned into sharp fangs similar to his black form. The Rider’s mark wrapped Asta’s left arm had turned red. This power he was invoking was due to his own negativity reacting to the horn of King Sombra that was infused throughout his body. He was now Crystal Asta.

“You,” Asta growled with focus on Narissa. His anger caused the clouds above the trio to be drawn in and accumulate into thunder clouds. Narissa started to back off at the site of the creature in front of her. “DARE COME TO MY HOME,” he brought his right hand up and clenched it into a fist. “DEMAND THAT I GIVE UP MY FRIENDS AS A SNACK TO YOU AND THEN YOU HAVE THE GALL TO TELL ME TO HAND OVER MY GUEST!!!” He roared with the force of thunder. Narissa’s eyes were fixed on Asta’s arm as she knew that this appendage was incredibly dangerous to her and her comrades.

"Luckily, I have something for these types of things," Narissa snapped her fingers, and the next thing the two knew, they were sent flying into different directions, Rick landing on a cart, crushing upon impact, Asta was sent into Sugarcube, when they got up to see their attacker, they saw a creature that seemed to be made of fire, smoke came every part of it, two bat-like wings were ablaze,

"A Balrog, how you managed to control one is beyond me," Rick said, regrouping with his friend, "Asta, we're no match for this thing, even in your angered state, so unless you want to end up dead, then don't engage, I repeat don't engage, we're too spent, and your power levels are going down the longer you're in that form," Asta merely growled in anger, "You charge at that thing, and if we survive this, I'm telling Fluttershy!"

Hearing that comment brought him back so a more reasonable state of mind. Asta remembered that he'd promise Fluttershy that he'd control his impulses better and now that he could think much more clearly he was able to see what Rick was talking about. Even if he was at full strength a Balrog was still too much for him to face alone.

Asta got back to his feet and looked around the bakery. "Man, I hope the Cakes have insurance against monster fights," he cracked his neck and then looked at his right arm. "Guess I was more compatible with Sombra's power than we originally thought. I'll have to learn as I go for now. Rick, you in one piece brother?"

"Yeah, though I did have two broken ribs when that thing hit us, my healing factor kicked, so yeah I'm good," Rick said, spitting out some blood, "Alright, I have an idea on how to handle ugly here,"

“I’ll leave the planning to you my friend,” Asta walked out of the bakery. “I can’t use my Black Form right now my body hasn’t recovered enough from our fight so if I have to use anti-magic I’ll have to rely solely on my weapons and physical techniques on it. I’m going to rely on my Crystal and Ancient Magics for the time being.”

"Alright, and I will use this, UNICORN GUNDAM!" Rick said, tossing an action figure sized robot to the ground before shouting its name, the mech then grew and was bigger than Golden Oaks,

"Take it out, hit it with everything you got!" the Gundam started firing its blaster at the Fire Demon, blasting chunks off of it, "That should help weaken-GAGH!" Rick was interrupted when Narissa and two other Vampires tackled Rick into a nearby alley before Asta could follow, the Balrog grabbed him and tossed him at the Gundam, which carefully caught him before any harm could be done,

“Damn fire demon,” Asta wiped some blood from his mouth. “My next move could be dangerous but it’s the only one I can think of that’ll allow me to help Rick. You hold it in place,” he looked at Unicorn as it nodded in agreement. Unicorn rushed the Balrog and got behind it while grabbing the demon’s arms and held them behinds the beast’s back. Asta placed his hands together and began to concentrate and gather mana into himself.

Only for the Balrog to break free as it ripped off Unicorns left arm, melting half of it's chest with its fire breath, and then proceeded to punch Unicorn in the head, snapping it's crest in half, destroying an eye and severely denting the head, but Unicorn grabbed the demon and pinned it to the ground, using its body weight to keep it there while plunging its purple beam saber into its shoulder, then the Balrogs flaming sword burst through Unicorns chest, barely missing its core,

“Crystal malthinae daert(Crystal Binding Spears)!” Asta roared as he punched the ground with his crystal right arm sending mana into the earth itself. Suddenly giant spears of black crystal burst forth from all sides of the Balrog and pierced the body of the flaming beast. He was combing his Crystal magic and his Ancient magic to form an extremely binding seal on the Balrog. The flames of the demon were soon extinguished as the monster died in pain never to breathe another breath again.

“I’ll have the princesses do something with your carcass later,” Asta grabbed his right. “Man that put more of a mental strain than I thought it would. Now,” He headed towards Rick. “To help my buddy and end a vampire.”

"A little late for that," Rick said as he stumbled out of the alley, blood covering all parts of his body along with ash, his clothes torn and tattered, "Managed to end those other two, but Narissa got away, and you'll never guess who I found," he held up a mirror, spinning so that the back is facing Asta, on the back was a cracked gem, an all too familiar gem, "I finally found her, she was with that vampire scum. Let's get to the others, losing blood fast,"

“Good for you,” Asta smirked as he reverted back to his normal form and fell to one knee. He winced in pain as he noticed his body had taken more damage than he’d initially thought. “Yea, I need my own fair share of first aid to. Let me contact Ymir and have her tell Shy and the girl to meet us at the Library.” Asta placed his hand to the side of his head. ‘Ymir, get the girls together and meets Rick and I at Twilight’s house.’

‘You sound completely worn down Asta. Are you alright?’ Ymir worriedly answered her rider.

‘I’ll be fine for the time being but Rick is need of some serious treatment,’ Asta got to his feet and moved toward the Golden Oak Library with Rick in toe. ‘Have Pinkie zip to the hospital and get some AAB and have Twi prep the basement.’

‘If you say it then I shall tell them,’ the worried dragoness confirmed.

‘Thanks partner,’ Asta looked to Rick as he wobbled to keep up with his pace. Asta smirked and went over and to the Pokémon and pulled his arm around himself. “Let's get you to the library's basement buddy.”

"Yeah, and don't worry Unicorn, I'll fix you up when we head home," Rick said to the giant torn up mech, before a powerful kick to the head by Narissa ripped Unicorns head clean off, "UNICORN! Why you!" Rick charged at Narissa, but due to his weakened state, Narissa was able to launch him into a building, Narissa then proceeded to pound Asta, hearing a few bones crack, as she was about to deliver the final blow, a deep growling was heard, looking to the building Rick was sent into, they can hear the sounds of bones breaking and tearing, then it stopped, next thing Narissa knew, she was tackled by a big form, when the dust cleared from their collision to the ground, Asta saw a huge werewolf, its arms were massive, almost like tree trunks, it's legs like that of a wolves, its eyes were black pits with Iris being silver in color, and the teeth, they looked ready to tear into flesh, Asta recognized the thunderbolt shaped tail, it was Rick, and he was a werewolf.

Rick kept snapping his jaws near Narissa’s face before she kicked him, Rick landed near Asta.

"Look who's pissed and going off the deep end now," Asta got to his feet. "Ow, definitely gonna need a heavy healing treatment when this is done." Asta Grimoire floated up next to him as he looked at Narissa. " I'll admit you've done some pretty good damage to my body and you're very strong. If it wasn't for the fact I'm taken and you weren't a vampire, I'd ask you out. But the facts remain," Asta scowled at Narissa in pure rage. "You come into my home asking for a sacrifice of my friends, you act without justification and destroy my town, and kidnap my friend's friend. You lady, will not be leaving here in one piece," Asta pulled out a new sword from his Grimoire.

Narissa back off quite a few steps as Asta pointed the tip of his new blade at her. The new sword was exuding black demonic anti-magic but instead of the usual red-hued edge this time the hue was a deep dark blue. “You better back up bitch,” Asta’s tone darkened. “This blade can even end immortality, permanently,” he pulled the Demon-Dweller sword out too while allowing his anti-magic enter his body dawning his Black Form once more. Asta took in a deep breath and controlled his blood flow throughout his body to increase his strength to its utmost limits, surpassing that which he had in his earlier fight against Rick. “As I said before, you won’t be leaving here alive or in one piece.” Asta vanished in a blink and in the next moment Narssia’s left arm was permanently severed from her body only a few traces of bluish anti-magic could be seen where it had been.

"This isn't over yet, mortal!" Narissa said as she disappeared, not even Asta’s ki sense could find her,

"She disappeared back to my world, how I know is because of this," Rick said, showing a small device, it was cube in shape with strange symbols on its chrome plating, "I snatched it from her the moment I had her pinned, once we find a place to study it, I can find a way to keep them from coming it."

“Well, now you have one less arm to deal with,” Asta remarked with a smirk. “First things first though, we need to get to the Library. You need blood transfusions and I need healing spells bad. If I move after I disable my black form I risk passing out from intense pain.”

"Yeah, blood transfusions, just where are we gonna find someone with my type of blood?" Rick said, making a point,

“No sweat bro,” Asta thumped his chest and winced from the pain. “That’s why I had Pinkie run to the hospital to get AAB. I was short on blood once myself. AAB is short for Artificial Adaptive Blood. It’s blood that can adapt to anyone’s body once it’s in your system.” The duo walked along the empty streets to the Library. Rick reverted back to his normal form while Asta’s black form started to fade as they came upon their destination. Fluttershy quickly came out and caught Asta while Ymir caught Rick and tossed the dying Pokémon onto her back. “Gently.’ Asta mentally murmured in pain as the were brought inside the house tree. Asta was placed on the couch and Rick in a bed the girls had set up for him. Twilight wasted no time in getting the Pikachu hooked up to the blood infusion.

"Man, I hate vamps, no good bloodsuckers," Rick said, pulling out the device, "Let's see what you are, my little friend," his using gauntlet, Rick scanned the small device, his eyes going wide in surprise, "No way. That's impossible!"

“No shouting,” Fluttershy scolded the excited Pokémon. “Lay back down in bed now mister. You both a severely injured and need some rest.” RIck looked to Asta who was looking at the wall innocently.

‘I’d listen if you know what’s good for you man,’ Asta mouthed silently to Rick.

"Now, only crazy, no insane person would never listen to Fluttershy," Rick said, "But this is a portable Dimensionator, it allows one to travel to other dimensions,"

"But how did they get here, it's not like our worlds are connected, the only they can get here is by token, form what my notes say, and there is no way they can make a token, they're not Displaced," Twilight said, looking over her notes,

“Normally that’s the case Twi,” Asta spoke up as Fluttershy cast her healing spells on him. “But there are Displaced that have the means and or the abilities to allow them to freely move through the void as they please. These guys are usually either evolved Displaced that are known as Void Dwellers or an extremely powerful Displaced like my big brother that have the power or means to do so. My older brother could come here right now without needing to be summoned. He even gave me a key to his world so I can visit whenever I like.” Asta pulled out a golden skeleton key from his pocket showing everyone.

"But that's the thing Asta, Narissa isn't even a Displaced, though I do have a theory," Rick said, pressing a button on his gauntlet, as a hologram of Astas and Ricks worlds appeared, "These are two Displaces worlds, now watch what happens when a Displaced summons another," Rick pressed another button, and thin line appeared, connecting the two worlds, "This is the bridge connecting the two worlds, as a Displaced gets summoned, a thin bridge would appear and send that Displaced to the Summoner, though the bridge is small, only made for as long as the Displaced is there for, and when they get sent back, the bridge disappears completely, though for others that are not Displaced and would want to travel to another Equestria, they would have to use the Dimensionators, but that would require a very large power source, like cosmic scale power source, and the only ones I could think of are these," several images appeared, there was The Matrix of Leadership, the Infinity Stones, Galactus, Silver Surfer, Dark Spark, Dark Energon, and a black Crystal, "But we have to rule out the Matrix, Infinity Stones, Galactus, and Silver Surfer, as they are unattainable, but the Dark Spark, Dark Energon and Dark Matter," everyone felt shivers run down their spines, "Are attainable, while the Dark Matter is hard to come by, it's still attainable, though even Narissa wouldn't go near it, so the only ones are Dark Energon and the Dark Spark," Rick said, deactivating the hologram, and pulling out the mirror prison of his friend, "But that pretty much sums it up, for now, it's time to see an old friend," he then proceeded to take off the gem, and when he did, the mirror began to crack until finally, the mirror shattered, freeing Rick's friend.

A glow came from now free gem as it began to take shape until finally, Lapis Lazuli was standing in front of us, her eyes were completely white, "W-where am I?" she said,

"Hey Angie, been a long time since we saw each other," Rick said, causing Angie to look in his direction, tears threatening to come from the corners of her eyes,

"R-Rick, is that you?"

"In the flesh." Angie tackled Rick in a hug, tears flowing down her face,

"I thought I would never see you again," Angie sobbed, soaking Rick's fur with her tears, Rick merely rubbed her back soothingly,

"Shh, it's okay, we're back together again, no more tears now," Rick and Angie stayed like that for a good two minutes until she stopped crying,

"Where are we?" She asked, which Asta answered her,

"First off, hello my name is Asta Ferris nice to meet you. Secondly, you're in the Golden Oaks Library of Ponyville in the land of Equestria, my Equestria anyways," Asta explained to Lapiz. "Seeing as how you've been in a mirror for god whos knows how l will explain. You are a Dimensionally Misplaced or Displaced. One who has met a being that sent you a version of reality different from your human one as the character you were dressed as. Ow!" he yelled as Fluttershy had him lay on his stomach. "rick you explain because the pain is getting to me. DAMN! Freaking Balrog and vampires. You did get the others right? YOW!"

"I already know what Displaced is, but thanks for telling me," Angie said,

“Nnnf, well now I feel stupid,” Asta winced as he sat back up. “Thanks, for the healing Shy,” He motioned Fluttershy to sit next to him. She sat down and snuggled into his as while Asta wrapped his left arm around her. “Back to what I was saying. This is my Equestria and I’m the one who summoned Rick and by some unfortunate circumstances the vampires that by the good graces of God brought you and Rick back together!l He saw Rick reluctantly smile at this statement as he blamed himself for Narissa’s attack.

“Do you know how those meanies got here?” Pinkie interjected with a furrowed brow.

“Yes darling, do you think you'd be able to shed some light on how the ghastly villains entered our world from your own Ms. Lapis,” Rarity asked in concern but with an air of intrigue in her new acquaintance. “Could you also tell us a little about yourself dear?”

"Well, I don't know how they got here, but I do know they plan on bringing an army as long as some sort of bridge is still open," Angie said, "As for myself, well, I'm a sentient gem from another world which is a females-only world, I'm able to control water, don't need to eat or sleep, or breath, and I also enjoy a nice time at the beach,"

"Then my theory about the bridge between worlds is correct, if we stay here any longer, who knows what could come here, like The Overlord, if he comes here, not even you could stop him, even at full power, fortunately, I'm near full health, so I could finish patching myself up, and Angie as her gem is cracked,"

"Aw, we're leaving, but I got out of the mirror," Angie said,

"Angie, we don't who is now in our Equestria, Thanos could be interrogating Narissa and her gang on how to get here, as long as that bridge is open, this world is now a target, besides there is always more Displaced out there," Rick said, getting up,

“I wanted to get more notes on Angie’s race!” Twilight yelped in disagreement.

“As much as I too would also love to know more about a sentient gemstone society I'm afraid I must also agree with Rick Twilight,” Rarity side with the Pokémon begrudgingly.

“But we can’t just send her back with a crack in her gem,” Fluttershy butted in and they all looked at Angie. “My Grimoire deals in Gaea magic. If you’re familiar with terminology and lore I can help heal her but it could take a while as I would also need Rarity and Applejack's help.”

“Why do you Rares and Aj to help you with healing Flutters,” Rainbow Dash looked at her best friend confused as she Fluttershy was the best at heal spells since they’d all received their Grimoires. She was able to heal Asta up back to one hundred percent on day one of getting them.

“I think I understand where she’s coming from,” the scholar nodded as she held her head in her hand. “Fluttershy’s Magic is nature-based for the most part but as she said her magic deals with Gaea. Which means she has pull with the very ground we stand on and by extension the minerals in it. Rarity’s deals with gemstones and Applejack’s deals with earth, rock, and stone in general. Altogether when combined with Fluttershy,s healing spell they could patch the cracks in your gem. Fluttershy as the base for healing. Rarity for the gemstone’s crystalline struck and Applejack for raw material.”

As the girls were discussing the way to help Angie Asta was thinking silently to himself. This time there was a real threat to Equestria and he’d barely managed to wound it. What’s worse is that he nearly lost himself to his anger again. He had some serious mediation to undertake and then there was his idea of starting a squad Magic Knights. This incident had helped him make up his mind. He was going to start a squad up and he was going to make the girls all Honorary members. He’d already been offered a spot as a Captain of his own Branch of the Crystal Guard. He only hoped Celestia and Luna would be willing to listen to his idea.

Asta thought back to his new friends and their situation. “As much as I know you girls want to help I think you should let Rick and more importantly, Angie decide on what should be done. Don’t forget we still have our own problems to attend to here and this little issue has set us back by a day already.” All head turned to the two foreign Displaced.

"Hmm, it could heal Angie faster, but it's Angie's gem, it's up to her."

"Yes, I would like that," Angie said agreeing with the girls’ plan,

“If ya are willin to put your gem in our hands Ah’m more than willin to help ya,” Aj smiled as she’d never really helped others with her Grimoire. Sure she used it to help out on the farm and earlier to help Ponyville. But healing was never really her forte.

“I’m sure that I have some Lapis Lazuli shards back at my shop we could use as filler material,” Rarity pondered. “Thai way dear Fluttershy and Applejack won’t have to strain themselves to pull large amounts gem from scratch.”

“I can help out too,” Twilight interject. “I can use my Copy Magic to help the others in their facets as a whole. Three spells at a time are nothing for me to maintain even when I use my Grimoire. You three can start off and take care of most of the leg work on the spells while I help maintain and power them.”

"Alright, but you won't like the way I give it to you, Rick?" Angie looked to Rick, who grimaced, then pulled out a katana, and poofed her by stabbing her in the stomach, her gem falling to the ground, the girls had looks of horror,

"As she said, you won't like it, and she's not dead, the only way to kill a gem is to shatter the gem, she'll reform," Rick said handing Fluttershy the gem,

Fluttershy shivered as she looked at the cracked gem And then desperately to Asta looking for an explanation.

“She okay Shy,” Asta comfortingly rubbered his girlfriend’s arm. “Gems enter their gemstone in order to repair their damaged form. Her physical form is actually a form of solid light construction. She basically in a hibernation state.”

“Fascinating!” Twilight squeezes with excitement as she wrote down more notes. Asta only rolled his eyes in annoyance.

“Yes well,” Rarity shook her head as she came back to reality. “I shall go to my shop to check and see if it’s still in one piece and to retrieve the lapis shards.” Rarity made her exit as quickly as she could

“Do you need a drink as badly as I do?” Asta looked at Rick.

"I could go for a soda," Rock said to his friend,

“Maybe Pinkie or the Cakes can spare a couple of sodas?” Asta suggested. The duo made their way to what was left of Sugarcube Corner. Rick and Asta quickly found an intact table. Pinkie quickly popped up out of nowhere and zipped over to the Displaced with a couple of root beers and cherry changes.

“Thanks, Pinkie,” Asta held up a hand to the party pony. “Tell the Cakes I’m sorry about the mess in here?”

“They totally forgive you Asta,” Pinkie giggled. “They said they’ve been wanting to remodel for a while now anyway. Enjoy.” She zipped off to do whatever it is that she was doing. Asta merely shook his head with a soft smile.

“Back to business,” Asta grabbed his rot beer and took a swig. “Ah! Good stuff. Maybe you can help me out with this decision?” The Knight’s head went down as he looked at the table then his eyes went up to Rick. He took in a deep breath and let it out. “I was offered the chance by Shining and Cadance to take up a Captain in the Crystal Empire while I was there and I’m seriously considering it. I’m already going to go ahead and form the Squad, obviously.” He smirked as he looked to Rick’s hat. “But I don’t know if I should start it here or there in the Empire?” Asta looked at his reflection in the drink. “You’re the one person I can talk to other than my brother and he’d just tell me to do what feels right. After this fight I know I can’t just sit by and let threats to my home appear but at the same time, I donut know if I have the right to form a squad or even be a leader. I’ve always been a follower.”

"Nothing is wrong with being a follower, but starting a squad is big yes, you alone isn't enough, if Chrysalis came with her Changelings, you would be outnumbered, your main focus should be here in Ponyville, major threats always appear here, so I suggest you start a squad here, I also think the whole Captain thing, what's the real reason why they offer it to you? It can't be just because you're a very powerful warrior,"

Asta took a bite of his cherry changa. “You hit the nail on the head there my friend. They wanted me to stay in the Empire so I could be monitored to make sure Sombra didn’t have an influence on me,”he explained dans drag some of his soda. “Though they did offer me the post as sincere jester but it was mainly a bribe to stay close by. I did end up compromising a little saying I would come for regular checkups and while there I offered to oversee some of the guards’ training.”

"Well, I don't think you should if it's only to keep an eye on you, it's basically screaming that you're a prisoner, after all, it's a bad idea to be offered Captain if Sombra were to control you, you would have access to unauthorized places, and guards will be useless if you were Captain as you can order them to leave their post for a break or something, so no to the Captain, but perhaps monitoring the guards there could be a good idea, if you see they could use a little improving you could just give helpful advice to Shining Armor," Rick said, taking a sip of his root beer,

“The guards of the Empire are definitely much more competent than the Royal Guards in Canterlot if you ask me,” Asta flipped his finger. “Totally different air about them. I’d be lucky to have half of them as Magic Knights. Their loyalties to me would never be questioned either. Not after I vanquished Sombra and returned Princess Amore the Empire. Perhaps it would be best to recruit from the Crystal Empire first. Maybe I’ll start with Princess Amore. I sound like a villain!” Asta grabbed his in pairel head and rolled around on the floor before stopping to stare at the sky through ahole in the roof. “Princess Luna trusts me enough to put a small faction of the Shadowbolts under my command. I hope Celestia doesn’t see this as an attempt to start building an army. I can at least. Count on the girls to back me up. Not to mention Ymir and Nero.”

"Yeah, well let's hope so, otherwise, prepare for a very heated argument between you two, but who is Princess Amore?"

“Ah, never read the MLP comics then,” Asta hoped to his feet while a large black,red, and white horned owl flew through the hole in the roof and landed on Asta’s head. “Princess Amore was the one who made the Crystal Heart, one time ruler of the Crystal Empire before Sombra, and Princess Cadence's distant relative in many of the other storylines. And the thing perched on my head is the first friend I made when I first arrive in the Everfree, Nero.”

‘Hoo,’ Nero hooted at Rick as she fluffed her feathers trying to intimidate Rick.

In response, Rick's eyes glowed a slight red, and Nero immediately back off, Rick used Scary Face on Opponent Nero, it's super effective!

“Don’t push dude,” Asta warned. “She has a hoot that can take out several mutant timberwolves all in one go. She helped me save Ymir when she was still a hatchling. Ymir considers her a big sister of sorts. She also deals with the annoying as all hell white ball fluff that Shy calls Angel Bunny.” Asta sat down again while Nero hopped onto the table. “Her species is a Howling Owl actually. Shy says they're better known as Howlers.” He scratched Nero under the chin causing the owl to start cueing lightly.

"Heh, I can take that attack like it's a mere breeze, I've dealt with louder sounds before, but I won't push it," Rick said, "Wanna head back and see if the girls are done healing Angie?"

"Whos Angie?" Sweetie Belle asked, popping up from nowhere,

“Knew we had forgotten something,” Asta patted the pony on her head. Their was a large explosion knocking everyone to their buts. Asta quickly got to his feet and rush out the door to see a large plume of blue smoke coming from the direction of the library. “Oh no. Shy!” Asta shot to the library as fast as he could with Rick right on his heels with Sweetie Belle on his back while Nero flew after them.

When they opened the door to the library they immediately hit with the blue smoke, "Man what's with the smoke?!" Rick said in-between coughs, "Is everyone alright?!"

They heard the others coughing while saying everything's all good,

Asta didn’t hesitate and ran into the library. Using his ki sensing he pulled every pony out of the building in a few moments. Asta tossed them all on the ground one at a time as he pulled them out. He went over to Fluttershy first and began to check over while she was still clearing her lungs.

“What happened?” Asta asked frantically. “I thought this was going to be smooth. Are you girls and Spike alright?”

“Other than a massive smoke bomb going off and a little of mana feedback I think we’re okay?” Twilight tried to steady herself.

“The dear’s gem took to the spells a little to well. Who knew she was so compatible with the fragments I’d brought,” Rarity held her head.

“Ah think it was Shy’s power that allowed everything to combine so easily. Other than the fact that we all have some form of earth magic. It was her Gaea healing spell that fused the spells together. That and throw in Twi’s magic know how and huge bucking mana pool and we had a regular recipe for trouble!” Applejack stood up suddenly but fell right back down.

“Careful there Aj,” Asta went over to look her over. “Mana feedback can make you seriously sick.” Applejack blushed as Asta checked her.

“If it hadn’t been for our dragon buddy me and the Pinkster would be in as bad shape as the other. He put up a shield spell just as the boom went off,” Rainbow pointed the brave salamander. “I usually like this kind’ve stuff but being on the receiving end is different than causing a boom. Where is Spike anyway?"

“Mhmhmhm hmmm,” came a muffled voice from under Rainbow.

“Rainbow!” Rarity shouted. “Get off Spike this instant. The poor thing can’t breath!”

“Oops,” Asta rubbed the back of his head. “Where’s Angie’s gem?”

“Uurahh!” Spike took in a deep breath while Rainbow help him up and held up his hand. “Here… she … is.” The young drake walked over to Rick and handed him the Stone. Upon taking the gem Rick and Sweetie’s fur absorb a static discharge of mana causing them to turn into giant yellow, white, brown and purple fluff ball. Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

“Well is it fixed?” Asta asked inquiringly.

"Yeah she's fixed," Rick said, turning around to see that the crack is gone, "Also, from what you girls said, she might have a slight connection to Mana, also can somebody help us get non poofy,"

“One minute,” Asta huffed as he pulled out his Grimoire. Opening it he pulled out The Demon-dweller sword and then tapped the Pikapony fluff ball with the flat of the blade. The mana was then pulled into the sword and Rick and Sweetie were able to separate.

"Thanks, I don't think I can handle being poofy," Rick said fixing his hair,

"Yeah, me neither," Sweetie Bell agreed,

“Rick she’s so cute!” Rarity scooped up Sweetie Bell and began petting her before holding the pony out in front of her. “Why do you seem so familiar? I know we’ve never met before.”

"That's because she's the pony version of your sister Rares," Rick said to the now shocked Rarity, then Angie's gem glowed, and she was back, her eyes were back to normal and everything,

"That's better, now I won't look freaky to anybody," Angie said, sprouting her water wings, did a few laps over everyone's head and landed on the ground, "So I guess we have to leave now that I'm healed, otherwise something bad might come here,"

"Afraid so Angie,” Rick said to his friend,

"One more thing before you go," Asta put away his sword and pulled out a quill, ink, and blank book. "Here ya go Angie. write you name on the front cover."

She did so, confused, "What's this for anyway?"

" I can't send you home with only shapeshifting and other stuff. Magic would come in handy wouldn't it," Asta opened his Grimoire. " this might sting. PUBLISHING MAGIC!" Black lightning shot from the Five Leaf Grimoire and shot at Angie and then to the blank book.

The book had now an ocean blue color to it, with several Lapis Lazuli gems on it, the clover was a four leaf one, it also had what appeared to be waves of an ocean, with a serpent like dragon emerging from the waves with a big splash, the title read,

Waters of the Sea Dragon

Angie grabbed her book and looked through it, “So, what kind of magic do you have Angie?” Rick asked,

“Apparently, it allows me to heal people through water, and summon sea dragons, though they won't be stronger than Celestia, they can still give her a good fight, and the most advanced healing spell lets the water to enter the body without any harm and heals any inner injuries, and the advanced summoning spell allows me to summon the Great Sea Dragon, which is basically the king of Sea Dragons.”

“Give it time and you’ll be able to match her,” Asta smirked. “Wait a minute where’s Pinkie? I know I pulled her out here.”

“Sorry I needed to pop over to the bakery for a second,” the bubbly baker popped up next to Angie, Rick, and Sweetie. “Here ya go. Congratulations your free and al better and sorry that you have to leave and come back soon! Cake.” Pinkie handed Angie the cake and gave everyone a crushing hug. Rick thought he heard a few ribs break.

When Pinkie released them, Rick ran a scan himself, and an x-ray of his ribcage appeared, a few ribs were cracked, Pinkie gave a sheepish grin, “Thanks for the cake Pinkie, now before we go,” Rick pressed a button on his gauntlet, a brief flash, and standing in front of us was an actual Pikachu, though he did have some characteristics of his original form, like he had his hairstyle, his gauntlets disappeared, he still had the bandages around his wrist and arms, his bandana, and he was fluffier, “There we go now I-” he was interrupted when basically all the girls tackled him, hearts in their eyes, “DANG IT NOT AGAIN!!”

“Aww! He’s so adorable! I just want to pinch his cheeks!” Twilight said, pinching his cheeks, all the girls were either pinching his cheeks, Rick looked to Asta with a face that screamed 'SAVE ME FROM THESE CUTE OBSESSED MARES!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!' but Asta only smirked, gaining a flare from the Pokemon,

“Hey man, I’ve learned you don't get in between ponies and cut, things. Prhahahahah!” Asta fellow over on the ground as he and Spike both laughed their butts off while rolling around on the ground. They were laughing so hard they had tears coming from his eyes

Fluttershy picked Rick under his arms and started making babyface at him. “Awww do you wanna come live with me and Asta little guy?”

"Fluttershy it's me! RICK! This is just the work of my Disguise-Yo Tron, it changes my appearance without changing the mind, so put me down!" Rick said, when he was suddenly plucked out of Fluttershy arms by Angie, who was flying overhead,

"Sorry Flutters, but he kinda has a home, so sorry," Angie said, "And Rick, they can't understand you when all you say is pika pika,"

"Wait, what?!" Rick said,

"Yep, and for some strange reason Asta can understand you,"

“Sorry buddy but for some reason I can understand animals like Fluttershy can, hehehahaha! Your face was priceless!” The knight rolled back and forth on the ground grabbing his sides.

Rick then had an evil idea, calling Pinkie over he whispered into her ear, she grew a big smile, and handed Rick a cake, though this cake wasn't for them, it was for someone else, Rick threw the cake at Asta, covering him from head to toe in frosting, the next thing Asta knew, he was in his Rayquaza's mouth, he tried to get out but Rayquaza had jaws of steel when it comes to cake, "Who's laughing now!" Rick shouted, nearly falling out Angie's arms due to both their laughter, followed by everyone else, even Fluttershy.

Once Asta managed to get out of his Pokémon’s mouth. He looked at Rick with a glare but it was more annoyance than anger. “You know it’s not me you should worry about right now,” He commented as Fluttershy handed Asta a towel. “Thanks Shy. It’s the dressmaker who made the outfit and who just so happens to be standing right behind you.”

Sure enough Rarity was right there glare at the little yellow ball of fur with an intense anger. Rick could spare he saw smoke coming from her head. “First you shredded the first one in a fight and then you stain the second with cake and drool. I think Opal needs to teach you some respect for clothing.”

“I think you two she leave before she gets serious about that,” Asta snarked.

"I ain't scared of that snobby cat!" Rick said, "Bring it on!"

“Um… Opal isn’t a cat Rick,” Fluttershy murmured. “She’s a Cerberus.”

"WAIT WHAT?!" Rick shouted in total disbelief,

“Not a very common house pet mind you but a very good one to have around if raised right,” Spike crossed his arms with a nod. “And Rarity raised her very well. She’s almost taken a bite out of me a time or two. Thank the gods drake skin is tough.”

“And I don’t want anymore trouble as I have a lot to do already to our business is done,” Asta commented and a void portal opened for Rick and Angie. “Summon my bro if you want a real fight when you’re in better shape.”

"Sure thing," Rick said, "Oh, before you send us back, Angie, shapeshift,"

"Right," Angie said, a glow surrounded Angie, when the glow went away, an ocean blue Pikachu was in Angie's place, the black and brown spots on a normal Pikachu was replaced by sky blue, she still had the red cheeks and the black eyes,

"Sweetie Bell, let's go home, see ya later Asta, thanks for the fight," Rick said as both he and Angie climbed onto Sweetie Bell's back, "And raise them Pokemon well, and don't forget to use the mechs when a foe is too big for ya!"

Sweetie walked in portal as Asta and his friends waved goodbye while the portal closed. Rick had definitely a last impression on the young knight but he still uncertain about his choices to form a knight squad. Maybe this mission would be the defining moment the he needed. Asta still wanted to talk with someone other than his brother with leadership experience but he didn't want to talk with anyone in royalty hear in his world. For now he was just going to focus on tje trip to the Savanna.

"Alright girls, maybe we can catch the late train after we help clean up after this catastrophe of a Displaced visit," Asta said as walked into town with Spike and she girls following behind him.

Chapter 14

Rick's POV

The day had come, the day that Nightmare Moon returns is here, right now, me and Angie were making preparations for her return, we did see Twilight going to each Element Bearer, right now, she's visiting Fluttershy, when she visited Rarity, she saw me and immediately wanted to perform, experiments, how I know this, well you can see it in her eyes.

Luckily, she couldn't grab me with so many pe-er ponies around, so she went off, "Close one huh?" Angie said, finishing practicing with the Rose Quartz Sword she bought, we were in the Danger Dome of my lab,

"Yeah, if no one was looking, she could have nabbed me and dissected me," I said, sharpening the Blade of Olympus, "But let's worry about Nightmare Moon,"

I could tell Angie wanted to talk to me about something, but she kept her mouth shut, but before I could ask her, the alarm rang, signaling that the ponies were gathering for Celestia to 'show up', nodding to Angie, we changed into our disguised forms, and made our way to town hall.

Me and Angie waited in Town Hall for Nightmare Moon, soon the sound of Fluttershys bird chorus was heard, while the spotlight went onto Mayor Mare, she began her speech while I watched the moon, soon the image of a mares head disappeared, I looked to Angie and nodded my head, to which she she nodded back, "-Princess Celestia!" Mayor Mare said, as Rarity opened the curtain, to reveal, nothing.

Rarity looked behind the curtain to see if she was there, "She's gone!" after Rarity said that, everyoony began to panic, then a black start mist began to rise, soon, Nightmare Moon appeared, but she was different, for one, she was anthro! She had a metal knee length skirt, she had had a pair of gauntlets that had wicked sharp claws with the moon on the back of them, her boots seem to have daggers on the sides, and she was weilding a blood red scythe, while a sword was on her back.

"Oh my beloved subjects, it's so good to see your sun loving faces," Nightmare Moon said, and before anypony else could say or do anything, me and Angie transformed in a flash of light, when light died down, me and Angie stood weilding our weapons ablnd wearing armor, me the Blade of Olympus and Angie the Rose Quartz Sword, ponies let out shocked screams and gasps, "It can't be!" Nightmare Moon said, her wings opening in surprise,

"Nightmare Moon, it's been a long time," I said,

"Indeed it has brother." Nightmare Moon said, causing more screams of fear, as ponies backed away, "Have you decided to join my army?" my response was sending an Electro Ball at her, she quickly dodged and with a slash of her scythe, sending a wave of red magic at me, too slow to dodge, the wave cut a large gash in my side, but I didn't let stop me, Angie snuck behind Nightmare Moon, and attacked with giant water covered fist, the attack sent Nightmare to me.

"Thunder Punch!" I shouted, my fist covered in lightning, only for the lightning to disappear, 'NO! NOT NOW!' I then felt pain in my shoulder as Nightmare Moon sinked one of her daggers into it, I kicked her off, and while she was on the ground, I charged at her, a Thunder Punch ready, but a brief image of Luna appeared, causing me to punch the wall next to her.

She blasted me away, allowing her to transform into her mist form, and get away, Angie came to my side, Grimoire floating next to her as she prepared to heal me, "Not here." I said, motioning towards the Royal Guards. We quickly escaped, heading to Golden Oaks Library.

Author's Notes:

Made a few edits to the first few chapters, gonna have to read them if you're confused,

Chapter 15

Rick's POV

Me and Angie made it to Golden Oaks, and are currently healing our wounds, the battle took a lot out of us, thankfully, the ponies that were Town Hall got out as soon as the battle started, so we didn't have to worry about that, Angie was using her Grimoire's magic to heal me, the water patching up the large gash on my side.

"Man, out of all the times for my powers to go out, now is the worst, thanks again Angie." I said, angry that my powers decided to stop, but thankful Angie was healing me,

"No problem Rick," she said, though, she had a look of deep concern,

"What's wrong? You had that same look back at the lab, so what's bothering you?"

"Well, it's just-" before she could continue, the door burst open, with a rainbow blur charging at me, slamming me against a bookshelf, my vision was filled with the accusing glare of Rainbow Dash,

"Alright bub! Who are you?! Where's our princess?! And where's Nightmare Moon?!" she all but screamed at me, before a giant hand made of water grabbed her, and held her against the floor, "HEY! Let me go!!"

"Ah'd suggest y'all let her go." looking to Applejack, we see her with the rest of the Main 6, all ready for a fight, except Fluttershy, "If ya know what's good for ya!"

"She attacked my friend here, I'm merely keeping her from causing anymore harm or causing his wounds to open up again," Angie said, pointing at most of my more noticeable injuries,

"Look, I don't have time for this!" Twilight said, "I need to find the Elements of Harmony and stop Nightmare Moon!"

"Well good luck with that," I said, "If you plan on taking on Nightmare Moon, your done fire, she is different now, more powerful, you won't stand a chance,"

"Please, just because she looks different, doesn't make her powerful," Twilight argued, looking over a book, "Besides, you didn't spend countless years under the mentorship of Princess Celestia," she had smug look,

"Celestia ain't got nothing on this new version of Nightmare Moon, she's more powerful than Celestia, heck, she might be able to move both the sun and the moon, and you, an apprentice level unicorn think you can defeat her, yeah, your dead." Angie said, causing the smug look to disappear, "We can help, if you don't think you can defeat her,"

"That won't be necessary, b-but it would be safe just in case," Twilight said, which me and Angie nodded, and we set off, followed by the rest of the Main 6.

"So what are you exactly?" asked Twilight, with various scrolls floating around her, as we made it to the collapsed bridge, she been asking me various questions since this adventure started, but I kept saying 'That's classified', so she moved onto Angie,

"Nunya." Angie merely said,

"What's a 'Nunya'?"

"None ya business." Angie responded, as me and her shared a laugh at Twilights frustrated face, "Alright, jokes aside, how are gonna cross this ravine?"

"Luckily, I can just tie the other end of the bridge on the other side, and we can get across," Rainbow Dash said, grabbing the other end of the bridge and flew to the other side, just as a fog started rolling in, I looked to Angie, we nodded our heads, knowing what will happen next, she sprouted her wings and flew to the other side.

Angie's POV

As I made it past the fog, I could see the silhouette of RD, just before I could get to her, I heard something, "Angie." stopping, I looked around, I knew Nightmare Moon was trying to trick me, so I decided to ignore her, but before I could go any further, she appeared in front of me, in her Mist form, though her eyes could be seen, "Hello Angie."

"What do you want." I said, sword ready,

"Why to talk, we have so much to talk about," she said, coming out her Mist form,

"We have nothing to talk about, now move aside!" I said, thinking I heard Rick call me, I turned my head, only to see the way back blocked,

"We do have something to talk about, I want you to join me, if you join me, I could give you whatever you desire." Nightmare Moon said, as she waved her scythe to the left, as a image appeared, showing me sitting on a throne with mountains of gold, weapons and other treasures, then began to pan out to see me living in a large castle, "Riches beyond your wildest dreams, whatever you want, I can give it to you, as long as you join my army, will you accept,"

We floated there for a few moments, until I gave my answer, "No." she sputtered in surprise, but regained her cool, "I will not join you, me and Rick will stop you, Rick fought you once, he can do it again!" what she said next, made my heart stop.

"Rick, even if considered a god back then, still bleeds like a mortal, he is not immortal, nor is he invincible, eventually, he will die." Nightmare Moon said, changing into her Mist form, then flew off, right when RD came flying past me as the fog disappears, I flew back to the others, landing next to Rick, who had a look of worry on his face .

Rick's POV

"What happened?" I asked Angie,

"I'll tell you later." she merely said, I knew something was bothering her but didnt want to pressure her, she doesn't do well with pressure, we crossed the bridge and made it to the room with the Elements, "Alright Star Butt, we're here, now what?" I already knew the answer,

"Well, I'm going to try and restore the Elements, but I needed to focus," Twilight said, levitating the five orbs over to her, me and Angie stayed while the rest of the ponies went out, soon, a small tornado sucked in the Elements, with Twilight jumping after them, me and Angie immediately flew out the window towards the throne room.

Enter Phoenix, and a Dark Reveal

3rd POV

Rick and Angie flew right through the window, just in time to see Twilight teleport behind Nightmare, Rick used a Spin Dash/Iron Tail combo, sending Nightmare Moon outside, "You get the Elements working, me and Angie will deal with Moon Butt," Rick said to Twilight, before speeding after Nightmare Moon, Angie already clashing blades with her.

Rick ran towards Nightmare Moon, a Thunder Punch ready, only to dodge a swipe of the evil Alicorns scythe, Rick sent an ki blast at her, while Angie sent a wave of water that was shaped like a Shuriken, Nightmare Moon was unable to dodge as both attacks collided with her, a large cloud of dust appeared due to the explosion, and before Rick had time to act, he was pinned against a wall due to the corrupted Alicorns sword stabbing through his shoulder, Rick let out a hiss of pain, grabbing the sword, he tied to pull it out, but the sword refused to budge.

"Rick!" Rick heard Angie shout, looking back to the the fight, his heart nearly stopped, Nightmare Moon had Angie pinned on her stomach.

"It's pathetic really, you have the powers of God's, yet you can't even control them, you filthy rat scum, you don't deserve those powers," Nightmare raised her scythe, "Time to kill this creature." Nightmare Moon said, sending her scythe straight at Angie, while also unknowingly aiming at her gem, but she noticed two things, one, the temperature suddenly rose, and two, she sees a flaming fist headed straight for her.

Angie had her eyes closed, waiting for the end, when it never came, she opened one eye, seeing the familiar shoe of Rick's OC, she looked up, only to gasp in shock, Ricks eyes were ablaze, flames sprouted from the sides of his eyes, his pupils shrunk to mere pinpricks, flames licked across his fur, and his Bio-Gauntlets were melting due to the extreme heat he was giving off, she knew he wasn't using his Grimoire, nor was he in Dragon Mode, his anger, no, his demon had taken control, gone was the being known as Rick, now in his place, was Phoenix, the avatar of the Deadly Sin of Rage, and he was ticked off, like Hulk ticked off.

"You dare harm those I care about, and you dare insult me, now you shall die by the flames of the Phoenix." Phoenix said, his voice dark and broody, before rocketing towards Nightmare Moon, a fiery fist pulled back, "FIERY TALONS!!" Phoenix's fist collided with Nightmare Moons face, sending the Alicorn a mile away, then charged after her.

Angie knew she had to calm Rick down, otherwise, he won't stop with Nightmare Moon, he'll raze the whole planet, Phoenix, being the avatar of the Deadly Sin, Wrath, he was a major weakness, as anger let's Phoenix take over, right now, he is at Stage One, Rage Mode, if Phoenix gets to Stage Three, no one would be safe, Phoenix will kill everyone just to try and calm himself, but, if this fight manages to make his anger go down, quickly summoning her wings, she flew after the two combatants.

Angie could see Phoenix dodging various attacks from Nightmare Moon, 'If I remember correctly, Phoenix's speed and strength will be tripled, while his intelligence and healing factor will be reduced, his healing factor will be like a humans, but with a slight speed to it, won't be able to regenerate missing limbs unless he was in his Stage 2, Planet Destroyer, and his intelligence will be like an average A plus math wiz, only when he wants to, which is, a quarter of the time,' Angie thought, thinking of Phoenix's stats, "So, turn him back into Rick, then get Rick to safety, because his energy will be nearly spent, easier said than done,"

But for a moment, Angie thought she saw a brief flash of grey, thinking nothing of it, she flew to the battle.

Meanwhile, with Phoenix, he just sidestepped another attack from Nightmare Moons scythe, sending a fireball at her, he prepped a Spin Dash, Phoenix ignited his flames, "Flaming Spin Dash!!" he shouted out, shooting off like a bullet, only for his flames to die out, but he still collided with Nightmare Moons stomach, sending her into a tree, which snapped in half, 'Dang it, looks like Rick's lack of knowledge on his powers is affecting me too,' Phoenix thought, this angered him, "Curse you Rick! Why are you such a weak fool!?"

"Don't blame him, after all, you should envy him, he has the best life," Nightmare Moon said, saying envy as if though it were important, which confused Phoenix, "Still haven't figured it out? Well, I don't blame you because you have the smarts of a rock."

"WHY YOU LITTLE-" Phoenix was interrupted when a dagger stabbed into his thigh,

"Would you let me finish, after all," Nightmare Moon removed her necklace to show a red rune, this caused Phoenix's eyes to go wide, he didn't even register Angie landing next to him, cause he knew that rune, he knew it all to well, "We are the same, brother."

"The mark of the Deadly Sin, the mark of jealousy, the mark of Envy." Phoenix said, causing Angie to gasp in shock.

Author's Notes:

There, just displayed a major weakness of Rick's, anger, while also stating a few stats about it. HAPPY?!?! Also, shocker about Nightmare Moon being the avatar of the Deadly Sin Envy, if not, then I understand,

Chapter 17

3rd POV

Angie couldn't believe it, Nightmare Moon was really an Avatar of the Deadly Sin Envy, oh man, this is bad, Angie was snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of slicing flesh, looking to Phoenix, she saw that he had pulled the dagger out of his thigh, blood flowing from the cut. "Phoenix, what are we going to do?" Angie asked, fear in her voice, Phoenix looked to her, and in his eyes she could see the fires of his anger, along with, a hint of worry.

"You are to get as far away from here, I will deal with this pathetic excuse of an Avatar." he said, his fists coated in flames as he took a step forward, only to nearly fall due to his injuries, he managed to stop himself before could fall, Angie knew he was too weak to fight, with Rick's previous injuries plus the massive power drain Phoenix is doing, he needs all the help he can get.

"Phoenix, you are no condition to even walk, let alone fight, let me help," Angie said to him, he just stared at me, and then sighed,

"Ya know, you really tick me off, but, fine! You want to help, be my guest!" Phoenix said, unsurprisingly, angrily, "But a gem and a weak Avatar may not be eno-"

They jumped to the sides as Nightmare Moons scythe nearly sliced us, Angie created a water Shuriken from a nearby puddle and hurled it at her, the Dark Alicorn merely sliced it in half, she was about to send a magic blast from her horn, when suddenly,

"BURNING SPIN DASH!!" Phoenix shouted out, speeding towards Nightmare Moon as a speeding ball of fire, soon colliding with her, causing her magic blast to barely miss Angie's head, Angie charged at Nightmare Moon, Rose Quartz Sword ready, "WHAT'S TAKING THOSE STUPID PONIES SO LONG?!?!" Phoenix shouted out, ducking under a swipe of Nightmare Moons scythe.

Meanwhile

"Come on Egghead! Ya can study them later!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, pushing a geeking out Twilight towards the Elements of Harmony, Twilight had scrolls upon scrolls of notes, and was hastily scribbling new ones as she watched the battle,

"Must. Study. Them. MORE!!" shouted Twilight, running over RD towards the window.

"OH COME ON!!"

Back to the fight,

Phoenix was slammed into a tree due to a blast of magic, summoning a fire ball, he hurled it at the crazed mare, missing, then summoned another, missing again, this raised his anger, letting out a primal yell, he hurled fireball after fireball at Nightmare Moon, managing to overwhelm her, but he started to get exhausted with so much energy being spent, causing the fireballs to appear less and less, Nightmare Moon took advantage of Phoenix's tired state, and flew at him, kicking him in the stomach.

Phoenix would have been impaled by a rusted spear, if it wasn't for Angie catching him, then flew to a hiding spot to recover, "I don't need your help!" Phoenix said, getting out of Angie's arms, "I am the Avatar of Wrath, I am strong enough to take care of myself!!"

"Look we are no match in state, we need some help." Angie said, quickly healing their wounds, "Got any ideas?"

Before Phoenix could answer, he was blasted in the chest, sending him against a boulder, and another blast sent Angie to the ground, Nightmare Moon pinned her down with her foot, her scythe ready to kill Angie, GET AWAY FROM HER!!" Phoenix shouted out, giving a roundhouse kick, sending Nightmare Moon away, "You ok? Not that I care, you know what Rick could do to me if you got hurt?" Phoenix said, helping Angie get on her feet, while putting her arm over his shoulder, she was spent he knew that, he couldn't blame her, he was close to going back into the Grimoire,

"How touching, too bad it won't be that way for lo-" Nightmare Moon was interrupted by a white substance hitting her mouth, closing her lips shut, Phoenix and Angie were confused, until they heard a familiar voice,

"Whoopsie! Sorry, not really," they turned to see the famous the team of anti heros, a team Rick had Pikachu make, the Shadow League, which consisted of Venom, Mewtwo, Shadow the Hedgehog, the Dinobots and many others,

"You dare shoot webbing at the Princess of-" again Nightmare Moon was silenced by Venoms web,

"About time you showed up," Rick, who had taken control again, said to his friends, then turned to Nightmare Moon, "Last chance Nightmare, give up, or everyone here is gonna kick your sorry tail, and some of them can wipe out entire cities if they wanted too."

"Never!! I will destroy you all! I don't care how many of you there are! You all will perish!" Nightmare Moon said, though she thought while the Mark of Envy glowed, 'Why does he get all the good stuff.'

"Well too bad, because," Rick pointed behind her, confused Nightmare Moon looked behind her, only to see the Main 6 with the Elements ready,

"No. NOO!" screamed Nightmare Moon, charging at the Element Bearers, scythe ready to cleave them in two, Rick sped past her, and blocked the attack with a sword,

"Yes, and guess what," Rick kicked her back, sending the sword back to his pocket dimension, and raised his fist in the air, then, the familiar Rainbow shot up into the air, before coming down, right into Rick's fist, "You messed with my friends, so prepared to get hurt!" Rick charged at Nightmare Moon, his fist pulled back and covered in a rainbow Aura, then he sent it towards Nightmare Moon, "HARMONIC FIST!!!" his fist collided with her stomach, as Nightmare Moon screamed in pain, as a loud explosion followed by a bright flash, causing everyone to close their eyes, once the flash died down, they could see the unconscious form of Princess Luna, now back to being a pony, with Rick standing right next to her, his fist, no entire arm scorched and smoking a little, but he had a grin on his face.

Then, suddenly, he fell to the ground, "RICK!!" Angie screamed, as she and everyone ran to him, not seeing a small Crystal eye watching the battle, or the bright object in the sky.

Chapter 18

Angie's POV

"Don'tdiedon'tdiedon'tdie!!" I said, desperately trying to heal Rick, condition so far, large and small cuts, scrapes and gashes all over his body, head is bleeding, cracked and broken ribs, sporting a black eye, cracked skull, and to top it all off, his right arm was burnt, barely had any unsinged fur, and every bone in it was crushed, save for his fingers, which were bent at unnatural angles. "Oh man!! Are you guys sure none of you, besides Mewtwo, have any healing abilities?!" I asked the other Shadow League members, only to be met with a chorus of no's.

'Focus Angie, his healing capabilities are no match for this type of damage.' Mewtwo said in my mind, looking to the Psychic, seeing him use whatever healing ability he has, while also setting Rick's bones back into place, quickly going back to healing Rick, I heard him groan as the Healing Water ran over his body, healing any wounds, I looked at Rick, tears threatening to escape the corners of my eyes,

"Please be okay." I whispered. Not noticing Rick's Grimoire next to me.

Twilights POV

Oh my goodness!! I was surprised to see three new unknown creatures, in case you're wondering, it's Rick, Angie and the bunny thing Raritys sister has, imagine my surprise at seeing so many other new unknown creatures, I so badly wanted to study them!! Find what makes them, them!! Especially Rick!! He took on Nightmare Moon!! And harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony into his fist for a final blow!! Forget normal observations!! I must go to extreme studying!! Which involves various experiments, and maybe, dissection.

Calm down Twilight, it's a living sentient being, not some wild animal, so calming myself, I summoned a few scrolls, books, pens and inkwells, but before I could walk over, a force field surrounded every last one of them, not one was left out!! Seems like they don't take kindly to strangers.

DANG IT!!

Rick's POV

I let out a groan as I awoke, I grabbed my head to try and rid myself of a headache, looking around only to see darkness, just darkness, well I could make out me in this dark place but nothing else, my ears twitched, quickly turning around, I see Phoenix just glaring at me, small flames danced around his fur, "What do you want?" I said harshly,

"Nothing." Phoenix said in a bored voice, we just stood there glaring at each other, I decided to have a look around, while also keeping a close eye on my living anger, "If you're looking for a way out, don't bother, I've been here the longest, there is no exit, no people, nothing but darkness,"

"There has to be some way out, it can't just be darkness," I said, then ran off, only to wind up back with Phoenix, "What the?"

"Did that too, first time I tried it, I just was running forever in darkness, then decided to leave a fire to mark my path, just kept coming back here."

"You know you're acting pretty calm about this," I said suspiciously, "What's you're game Phoenix?"

"None, you should know, that once I let off some steam, I can think rationally, if only for a good ten minutes." that's true, once he finishes going on a rampage, he can actually think for once, "By the way, you're welcome for saving your weak girlfriend."

"She's not girlfriend!! And she is not weak either!!" I shouted, sporting a small blush, "Not everyone rely on pure brute strength, fists for brains. Some people use knowledge against their enemies. But back to the topic at hand, I think I have a good idea where we are." seeing Phoenix make a 'go on' look on his face, I continued, "I haven't heard you saying things about how annoying everything is and that it should all be burned to the ground since I got my Grimoire, so it stands to reason that we are inside it,"

"Hmph, stupid Anti- Magic user." grumbled Phoenix, "By the way, Angie's healing you up after our fight with Nightmare Moon, you're pretty banged up, broken bones, extreme cuts, major bleeding, and your whole right arm scorched and broken after that last attack, what was it again, Harmonic Fist?"

"Yeah, but it was powered by the Elements of Harmony, which should be impossible, as I could not wield them before I got stoned, Tia and Luna said so,"

"Have you ever tried to use them, just in case?"

"Yeah, no go, but how long do you think I'm gonna be in here?"

"How the heck should I know?! I'm not a time Lord!!" aaaaand there's the normal Phoenix, all rage, welp, seeing how it's my mind, maybe I could play some music until I wake up, summoning my iPhone, I played a song. Much to Phoenix's dismay.

Chapter 19

Rick's POV

"He......ing...Kay....una." I heard someone say as I came to, their voice muffled, opening my eyes slowly, I only blurs, "H....king..p!" I heard the voice say, blinking a few times while shaking my to get rid of the dizziness, "Rick! Can you hear me?" I heard the voice, which turned out to be Angie say,

"Ugh, loud and clear, how long was I out?" I asked,

'About an hour Rick.' I heard someone say in my head, looking around to find the telepath, my eyes landed on Mewtwo, along with various others, 'Every Shadow League member are here Rick, now, I believe you have someone to talk to.' Mewtwo looked to his right, following his gaze, I saw a crying Luna, her back was facing me, but I could see her shake, getting up, I walked, more like limped, over to her.

"Luna, you alright?" I asked, putting my hand on her shoulder, I heard her let a small gasp, she turned her head to look at me, what I saw, broke my heart, her eyes were red and puffy, tears falling down her face like a waterfall, I grimaced, and pulled her into a hug, her tears soaking into the fur on my chest, but I didn't care, "Hey, you probably blame yourself for hurting me, but it wasn't your fault, it was Envy's, a Deadly Sins temptation is too strong, not even I could fight it, so stop beating yourself up." I said, rubbing her back in a soothing manner,

"B-but how? W-w-we nearly killed y-you, look at yourself!" Luna said, pointing out the various bandages on my body, my right arm was in a cast, a splint on my left leg, and was slightly bleeding in some places, causing the bandages to turn red a little. "We did this!! You may not fully heal from this properly!! You will have scars for your whole life because of me and-" time for some tough love, I interrupted her by slapping her, light enough not to hurt her too much, but hard enough to knock some sense into her,

"Luna, it wasn't your fault. Yes I will have scars but I have been in wars. I still have scars from Sombra. Yes you nearly killed me, but it wasn't you. It was a demon controlling you, you had no control whatsoever, so stop blaming yourself." I said sternly, yet had a calm tone at the same time, not blaming her, "What we should focus on is that our family is back together again, sorta." I said the last part to myself, not wanting to tell Luna of my imprisonment, she's feels bad enough already. Luna looked at me, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath, calming herself,

"Thank you brother, I needed that." she said, opening her eyes and smiling at me, I smiled back,

"Your welcome, just don't ever blame yourself for what happens to me, k?" she nodded her head, I noticed that the Main 6 were crying or trying not to cry, Rainbow Dash, "Now, I believe it's time you meet the hero's who saved you, after all, I couldn't use the Elements of Harmony, but they could. So it was mostly them who saved you." I said as we were walking towards them to give our thanks, when suddenly, I felt an all too familiar energy coming, my eyes widen in fear, "EVERY SHADOW LEAGUE MEMBER GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!"

"What? But why?" Shadow asked, as everyone became confused,

"CELESTIA IS COMING!! She's either gonna stone us or kill us, definitely the latter! So MOVE!!" with that said, every Shadow League member began to leave, I headed towards Angie, only to have someone grab my hand,

"Rick! Why is Tia going to kill you!? What happened after I was banished?!" Luna asked fearfully, but before I could answer, a bright light appeared, blinding everyone, once it died down, Celestia was in front of us, ever in her glory, a smile was on her face, which quickly turned to a shocked look once she saw me and Angie, and that shocked turned to fury.

"YOU!! HOW DID YOU ESCAPE?!? I MADE SURE NOTHING WOULD SET YOU FREE!! I EVEN HID THOSE BLASTED GEMS!!" shouted Celestia, I could see out of the corner of my eye that everyone was gone, heading deep into the forest, "DOESN'T MATTER!! TWILIGHT!! USE THE ELEMENTS ON THIS DEMON!! NOW BEFORE HE CORRUPTS ANYONE ELSE!!"

"But why, he helped rescue the princess, isn't he good?" asked Twilight,

"Of course he is good, in fact, he is a hero to Equestria. There were stories about him, so why do you want to use the Elements on Rick Tia?" Luna decided now was a good time to make her presence known,

"Luna!! Get away from her!!" Celestia fired a golden beam at me, to hurt to dodge, I was sent flying backwards, crashing into a tree, I let out a shout of pain as some of my wounds that weren't fully healed, burst open,

"Man, I've heard of terrible family reunions, but this is ridiculous." I said as Angie flew to my side, "Get out of here Angie, I don't anything happening to you."

"No Rick, I'm staying here, you're too hurt to escape." Ange said, helping me up while putting my good arm around her shoulders, she shouted her wings but before we could leave, another beam hit me, sending me and Angie into a wall,

"SISTER!! WHAT ART THOU DOING TO THY BROTHER!!" I heard Luna demand with the Canterlot voice. Opening my eyes, I could see her in front of us, horn glowing and wings spread out,

"Why are you defending him?! He is the reason why I had to banish you for a 1000 years!! He probably even kept the Element from freeing you so that way it would be easier to kill me!!" Celestia shouted back,

"Tis nothing but your own false thoughts sister. Thou were probably influenced by a Demon, so stop now or we will force you to." I knew Luna was too weak to fight, she needs help, walking next to her, I too tried to talk some sense into Sunbutt,

"Celestia, I would never harm those closest to me, let alone corrupt them. I don't even have the ability to corrupt people!" I said, that's when the Main 6 stepped in,

"Princess, maybe he's telling the truth, maybe he really is good." Twilight said, Celestia looked at her,

"No Twilight!! Do not listen to that snakes lies!! That's how he corrupted Luna before, and now is doing it again!!" Celestia said, "Twilight I would never mislead you, trust me my faithful student." Twilight closed her eyes and seemed to think it over, then opening her eyes she walked over to stand by Celestia,

"I trust you princess, come on girls, let's use the Elements on this demon!" with that said, the rest of the Main 6 stood next to Celestia, determination in their eyes, "Give it up Thunder Demon, your lies won't trick is this time!! So just surrender now!!"

"Oh great, their goes that whole loyalty to greatest being in the world we must follow what she says thing." I said, then looked to Luna, "Keep trying to get through to her, do whatever it takes to make her see what she is doing is wrong."

"Alright, just promise me you'll be safe." Luna said,

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he stays safe." Angie said, causing me to smile, with that said, we took off, me running, and Angie flying, beams of magic flew by us, some nearly hitting us, I double tapped the screen only my left Bio Gauntlet, bringing up a wide selection of mechs, "Anytime now Rick."

"I'm looking! I'm looking!!" I said, quickly searching for the right one, "Oh forget it!!" I selected one and an action figures version of it appeared, quickly tossing it up ahead, I shouted it's name, KIRYU!!" after that, it began to grow in size while letting a ear piercing screeching noise, as it was growing,

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A2mr38tN6Vw

me and Angie grabbed ont o the head and entered the head, via a hatch on the back of its head, once it was fully grown, I sat in a zero g chair, a neural link helmet latched onto my head as a visor covered my eyes, a loading screen was all I saw as I felt my mind merge with Kiryus cybernetic one, once the process was complete, my vision was filled with blue skies and clouds, I would do a few test runs if it wasn't for the large golden magic laser hitting my head, or Kiryus head, "Activate jetpack." I said to Angie,

"Why can't you?!" she asked as I ran,

"Because, this was a rush job, my mind hasn't fully merged with Kiryus systems, so I need you to activate some of it manually, no hurry!!" I kept KIRYU running from Celestia, then the familiar sound of engines met my ears, jumping up, the jetpack activated causing us to fly away from Celestia and the Main 6.

"Where are we going to go?" Angie asked after a tensed silence,

"We're going East."

"What's there?"

"The Dragonlands, I have a good alliance with Dragonlord Torch." I said, then went back to flying, "Angie, you think this will all blow over, do you think Celestia will be able to see her mistakes she made?"

"I don't know, one can only hope, right?" I felt Angie place her hand on my shoulder, I had a small smile,

"Yeah." with that, we continued flying towards the Dragonlands.

Chapter 20

Rick's POV

Man, after a thousand years of her being banished and me being in stone we still have to be separated, but I can't go back, otherwise I'll just get imprisoned again, or worse, so I'm not going back, "I'm going back." I said as I had Kiryu made a sharp U turn back to Luna, I felt Angie grab my good shoulder as she tried to keep herself from flying due to the sudden turn.

"Rick!! Where we going now?!" she demanded,

"We're going back, and don't try and tell me it's a bad idea, and that we should be heading away from Celestia, she's my little sister, and we've been separated for a thousand years, maybe longer." I said, but what she said next surprised me.

"Alright, let's go back." I immediately hit the brakes, causing Kiryu to hover over a lake, visor going up to reveal my wide eyes, she continued, "What? Just because I care about your safety doens't mean I don't care about your love for you sisters, even though one of them is acting like a jerk, they're still your family. So you better punch it!" she said with a large grin.

I stared at her shocked before a grin grew on my face as well, bringing my visor back down, "Increase jetpack speed." with that said, we rocketed towards Luna and everyone else, we saw them just entering Ponyville by golden chariots, shooting upwards, I deactivated the jetpack, causing us to land on the ground hard, like a small crater, in Kiryus case, formed under us, "Kiryu power down." I said as I got out of my Neural Chair, and exited Kiryus head with Angie through a hatch on the back of its head. We looked down to see the ponies had started to panic.

"Well, we're here, just how are going to get down?" Angie asked, I thought about it, until an idea formed,
"I may have an idea." I said, looking to Angie, with all too devious smile,

"Rick." Angie said, warningly, I picked her up bridal style, "Rick!!" and jumped, "RICK!!" we began to slide down various parts of Kiryu, like snowboarding, I was laughing the whole way down, and I could hear Angie laugh too, we finally made it to the ground, I looked at Angie, her hair was slightly frazzled due to extreme wind, putting her down, she immediately slugged me in my bad arm.

"OW!! What was that for?!" I asked, though I already knew the answer, I still had a grin on my face,

"You know why!" Angie gave a little pout, "Not all of us are healing people."

"Ah, relax, you know you thought it was fun, I heard you laughing."

"Alright, guilty." Angie gave me a smile, and punched my arm again, though softly this time, "Next time you do that again, I'm just gonna sprout my wings, and kick you so that you can fall down to the ground."

I was about to respond, if it weren't for you know who showing up, "THUNDER DEMON!! Stay away from my little ponies or face my wrath!!" Sunbutt bellowed, I had to cover my ears from the volume of it,

"Man Tia, I didn't think your voice couldn't get any higher pitched, you sounded like a broken record," I said, rubbing my ear, trying to get my hearing back, "And would you cut it out with the whole Thunder Demon thing, it's getting kinda old."

"Well, she does have a, in her case, good she reason to." Luna said, landing next to Celestia, "She told how she found plans that belonged to you about how you were going to kill one of us, but I know this isn't true, so let's hear your side of the take."

So, I began to explain my side of the story, how I never once thought about killing them, how I wished that I could have stopped Nightmare Moon from appearing, once I had finished, they just stared, Luna had a look of understanding, and Tia, well, she looked like she was trying to find any lies in my words, eventually, she spoke, "Forgive me Rick, I didn't mean to imprison you on false evidence, it's just....losing Luna caused me to go into an emotional state that it clouded my judgement, can you forgive me?" Tia looked at me with hopeful eyes,

"Sis, are you freaking kidding me!!" I shouted, she looked at me fearfully, only for her to gain a look of confusion as I hugged her, "I had already forgiven you the moment you pulled a Medusa on me." Tia hugged me back, sobbing, I'll admit, a few tears fell down my face, we just stayed there in each other's arms, I eventually let go.

"Thank you brother."

"Hey, no prob, anyway, I believe Pinkie is throwing a party right now, so let's go and enjoy it, as a family again. Besides," I took off, "First one there gets all the cake!!"

"STAY AWAY FROM MY BELOVED CAKE YOU FIEND!!" I heard Tia yell out, followed by Luna,

"NONE OF SHALL GET CAKE BEFORE ME!! I'VE BEEN ON THE MOON FOR A THOUSAND BUCKING YEARS!!" Luna bellowed, chasing after and already in the lead. I laughed at how much we acted like little kids, it was just like old times.

Angie's POV

I watched as Rick and the princesses left for the party, I just stayed behind and thought of what happened during the battle, Rick was nearly dying from his wounds, thank goodness his healing factor was keeping him alive, just enough for me and Mewtwo to do the rest, "Rick, even if considered a god back then, still bleeds like a mortal, he is not immortal, nor is he invincible, eventually, he will die." Nightmare Moons words rang in my head, she's right, Rick told of his past adventures, he nearly dies, quickly pushing those thoughts down, I went to the party to clear my head.

Hopefully.

But one thing did cross my mind, "Hey Rick!! What are we going to do with 300 ft metal dragon!!"

Pikachu Vs Eve!!

Ricks POV

It's been three, maybe four, weeks since me and my sisters got back together again, they offered me and Angie a place at the castle but we declined, saying how we got a place to stay in the Everfree. By that, we mean the Shadow Leagues base, Shadow Fortress, if you want a description of it well, here you go, it would go up to Kiryus chest, barely, and it's coloration was mostly a light black with red lights on it.(Message from the author, you may need to get to the bottom of the page to find what it looks like as I suck at describing things.) Anyway, me, Angie and Mewtwo were talking about recent events. "So, from what you are telling us, villains of the Marvel, Sonic, and Transformers Animated universes are laying low, which can't be a good thing." Angie said,

'Yes, with everyone appearing in a new world all of a sudden, with the main inhabitants multicolor talking ponies that seems to come from a 3 year olds imagination, so of course they would, and you are right, it can't be good.' Mewtwo said within our minds with his psychic powers.

"Agreed, if they find out that the ponies immediately turn tail and book it, it could make crimes a whole lot easier if the law is about ready to s**t themselves at the mere sight of them. Imagine what would happen if they saw someone like Galactus?" I said, imagining a bunch of scenarios of ponies seeing Galactus, most weren't pretty. "So, here's the plan, we have Shadow League members patrol all of the bad pony pun named cities and towns for any-" I was interrupted by a slight tugging on my tail, looking behind me, I saw Eve with her Chespin and Sweetie Bell. Instead of wearing her usual attire, the blue shirt with a smiling sun and black shorts, she was wearing a black shirt with a blue sweater and grey jeans, she also had a belt full of Pokeballs.

"Daddy, did you forget about our Pokemon training?" Eve asked innocently. In case if you're thinking, yes, she wants be a Pokemon trainer, seeing how her body is trying to adjust to her powers, she can't use them without hurting herself, it's like a double edge sword, her opponent gets hurt, but she takes the worst pain ever, you got to think, my blood was given to her while she was human, it's like Izuku Midoriya and All Might. Though like Midoriya in the beginning of My Hero Academia, she can channel her into a small part of her body, like her shapeshifting, her hair can be as sharp as a hedgehogs quills, have a Pikachu's tail for moves such as Iron Tail, etc etc. But anything stronger, you can sure she's gonna get hurt, so while I train her to use her powers without hurting herself, I'm also teaching her how to have Pokemon battles. Anyway back to the topic at hand.

"Nope! I'll be with you in a sec. K?" I said, causing them both to nod and run off to the Danger Dome. I looked to Mewtwo and Angie, they give a nod.

"Go ahead Rick, we can finish this meeting later." Angie said,

'Indeed. Though I would like to see how young Eve's Pokemon are doing.' with that said, we headed towards the Danger Dome, seeing it already had taken the form of a standard Pokemon gym room, I walked to my spot while Angie and Mewtwo sat with Sweetie Bell on the upper podium. Looking at Eve, I saw that she was practically shaking with excitement.

" You ready for this?" I asked to which she nodded happily, grabbing a Pokeball from her belt as I did the same. "Alright, then let's go Greninja!" I shouted tossing the Pokeball that contained said Pokemon, in a flash of white, Greninja stood in a battle ready pose.

"Gren!" he said, looking to me as he awaited for the upcoming fight.

"Okay, then come out Bulbasaur!" Eve said, her smile still present as her Pokemon came out with a small 'Bulba.'

"LET'S GO!" we both shouted.

'Alright, this is going to be a three on three battle, the use of Mega Stones is not allowed as well as Z-Crystals. And once a Pokemon wins against the other they must return to their Pokeball. Mewtwo said, we both nodded, eager for the upcoming fight, 'Now, trainers are you ready?' we both gave a shout of acknowledgement. 'BEGIN!!"

"Greninja use Aqua Jet!" I said to my Pokemon, who rocketed forward while being covered in water.

"Bulby dodge it and use Vine Whip!" following her command, Bulbasaur barely dodged at the last minute and used Vine Whip to grab Greninja's leg, cause him to slide a little due to the momentum, Bulbasaur stopped Greninja's Aqua Jet and proceeded to twirl him around and slamming him into the ground repeatedly. "Now toss him into the air." following her command, Bulbasaur sent Greninja into the air completely dizzy, "Solar Leaf!" uh oh. Eves double attack, Solar Beam and Razor Leaf, Bulbasaurs bulb began to gather light while he sent a tornado of Razor Leafs, each leaf did a lot of damage due to Grass types beat Water types.

"Quick Greninja use Hydro Pump to knock him out before he uses it!" Greninja followed my command and used Hydro Pump that knocked Bulbasaur away, but it was too late, getting back up Bulbasaur's bulb began to glow.

"Now Bulby!" Eve shouted, to which Bulbasaur responded by firing a beam of light at Greninja. Unable to dodge, Greninja was hit by Solar Beam. A large dust cloud appeared as Greninja fell to the ground, out cold, Bulbasaur soon followed as he collapsed, both Pokemon had swirls in their eyes.

'Both Bulbasaur and Greninja are unable to battle, please select your next Pokemon.,' Mewtwo calmly said as me and Eve returned our Pokemon.

"Alright, time for both power and speed, let's go Lucario!" I said, tossing a Pokeball into the air as Lucario came out.

"Then I will send out Axy!" Eve tossed a Great Ball into the air, a flash of white and a Haxorus stood ready.

"Haxorus!" it cried out, eager to battle while it's blades shined in the light.

"Alright then Lucario use Extreme Speed to get up close and use Mega Punch." I ordered my Pokemon, who charged at the opposing dragon type, fist glowing while nothing more than a blur.

"Axy use Shadow Claw." Eve said as her Haxorus too charged at Lucario, a glowing, dark purple claw covered its right claw, once the two were close they sent their fist at each other, both colliding with each others faces, causing them to slide back from each other, both with visible bruises on each others cheek. "Now Axy use Dragon Pulse!" a blue glow came Haxorus' mouth, thinking quickly I sent a command to my Pokemon.

"Lucario use Aura Sphere quickly!" I shouted to Lucario as he gave a growl in reply then brought his paws together as a familiar blue sphere appeared and as soon as both Pokemon built up enough energy, they unleashed their attacks, which were massive due to extreme energy build up, once the attacks collided against each other, large gusts of wind began to blow. Both Lucario and Haxorus struggled to get the upper hand over the other, but it looks like it might be a tie again.

"Axy now! Use Dragon Claw!" Eve shouted, Haxorus stopped his attack, and charged towards Lucario narrowly dodging the Aura Sphere, and sent blue glowing claw at Lucario, who failed to dodge in time and was sent flying into the wall of the arena. Lucario was seen struggling to get out of the wall, but he was stuck due to the rocks around him kept him in.

"Lucario quick!! Get out of there!!" I shouted to my Pokemon, but no matter how hard he struggled. He couldn't get out.

"Now Axy! Dragon Pulse!!" Eve said to Haxorus, whose mouth began to glow before another Dragon Pulse was sent towards Lucario. Unable to escape, Lucario was hit with the Dragon Pulse, once the attack was over, Lucario fell to the ground, knocked out.

'Lucario is unable to battle.Haxorus wins. Mewtwio said, a faint smile on his face as Eve jumped in joy, Haxorus joining her roaring loudly. 'Please select your next Pokemon.'

Eve and I returned our Pokemon and got ready to select our next Pokemon. 'Alright, looks like Eve has taken her training seriously, but I'm not gonna lose to her yet.' I thought, already choosing my Pokemon, just as Eve did the same. "LET'S GO CHARMANDER!!"

"COME ON OUT, BLAZIKEN!!" we both shouted out, tossing our Pokemons Pokeballs into the air as a bright flash appeared, then both Charmander and Blaziken stood in front of us, both letting out their respective cry. "Oh it's Charmander! Hi Charmander!" Even shouted out to Charmander, who just gave shout back.

"Eve, focus on the battle, once we are finished then you can hang out with Charmander." I said, causing her to shake her head.

"Right, alright Blazy. Use Overheat!" Blaziken opened his beak and released a torrent of flames towards Charmander. I quickly gave the order to dodge, and he followed the command by jumping to the left.

"Now Metal Claw!!!" Charmander ran at Blaziken with both claws covered in metal and struck, but due to Charmander being a low level Pokemon, his attacks barely did any damage.

"Use Fire Kick!!" Eve shouted, causing Blazikens foot to ignite as he kicked Charmander towards the arenas walls, Charmander stopped himself by using Metal Claw to cut into the ground below him, slowing him down until he stopped just barely in front of the walls. Charmander used Smokescreen to give him some cover, now you might be wondering why I am not giving any orders is because this is Pikachu's and Charmanders old strategy, Charmander would use Smokescreen to perform sneak attacks. Charmander and Pikachu have a connection, Pikachu raised Charmander from an Egg, so their bond is extremely strong.

I knew Blaziken was looking around as did Eve, until I finally gave an order, "Charmander use Metal Claw!" a slicing sound was heard followed by a pained cry. "Again." another slicing sound and pained cry. "Keep it up, then finish him off with-"

"Blazy use Blast Burn!!" Eve ordered before I could finish my sentence, a large blast of fire blew away the smoke and Charmander flew back, crashing into the arena walls, knocked out.

"Charmander is unable to battle, Eve and Blaziken wins." Mewtwo said, causing Eve to jump into her Blazikens arms while both let out a cheer of victory. I just smiled, now knowing what Pikachu felt when Eve was happy. I walked over to Charmander to see how he was doing. Seeing him ok and conscious, I pet his head as he gave me a sad look.

"It's alright bud, you did your best. For now, let's just get you healed up." I said, returning Charmander to his Pokeball. Then I walked over to Eve and gave her a hug. "Good work Eve, you are getting better. Keep raising your Pokemon, then we might be able to work on your powers!"

"Okay daddy!" Eve said, then she ran off to Mewtwo as Angie came up to me, a smile on her face.

"You know, you might make a great parent." she said, I just gave a small laugh.

"You forget, I'm already a parent!" Angie just laughed with me. Then I pulled her into a hug, "I'm glad this happened to us. Still miss my family, but I'm sure we will meet again." I then noticed that Angie's cheeks were a deeper shade of blue, odd. "You okay?"

"Y-yeah. I'm fine." she said, the blush still on her face as she began to walk to the others. I just shrugged and followed her.

3rd POV

Unknown to Rick and his friends, they were being spied on by a small crystal spider with a strange rune on its back. A dark figure chuckled as they and their friends watched the Displaced, "It seems this Rick now posses the body of our most hated enemy. And his powers are out of his control. This is absolutely wonderful!"

"I DON'T CARE IF IT IS SOMEONE ELSE THAT INHABITS HIS BODY!! i HATE HIM EITHER WAY!!!" another voice said, one that was full of anger and rage. Another voice just giggled,

"Calm yourself brother, you will have your revenge, and I will take great pride in having it first."

"Enough, all of you. We are to wait for an oppertunity to present itself to us. And why do you get to have revenge first, I will envy you if you kill him first."

"SHUT THE F**K UP!! But you are right sister, we must wait for him to be at his weakest, then I will finally kill that whelp and take back what is mine."

Author's Notes:

Pikachu and Charmanders bond is like any other trainers bond with their pokemon, so don't say anything about it! I'm tired of all the negative comments you people gave me. Also, working on the Shadow Fortress drawing for those who want to know what he looks like

23 Meets OC

3rd POV

Rick was speeding through Ponyville while doing stunts, he had no particular destination, just a morning run. Until something slammed into his head causing him to crash and burn, “Ow! What hit me?” Rick said while getting up, he then noticed the object that hit him. When Rick took a closer look at it he recognized it as a plumbers badge from the Ben 10 alien force and ultimate alien shows but with a light blue hourglass instead of a green one. Picking it up, a voice echoed through ricks head, making him realize it's a displaced token.

"Hey my name's Dillan, if ya need help call."

“Huh, a Displaced, well why not.” Rick said, then summoned the Displaced. A portal appeared and a human with a black hoodie amd pants with a navy blue undershirt with a 23 on it and a light blue ultimatrix.

The human-Dillan- looked around before looking at Rick. "Let me guess… either you couldn't decide what to go to a con as a pikachu or a sonic, or… an Original character?"

“Oc, names Rick, or Pikachu, either one is fine, so Ben 10 Displaced right?” Rick asked,

"Basically but more of ultimate ben 23." Dillan said holding up his light blue and gold ultimatrix.

Then a yellow beam ran over Rick, “Huh, I guess that is possible seeing how I’m made up of different DNA that I’m a new species.” he said,

"Seems logical considering the slimbeotes do the same kinda thing." Dillan said. "So, why'd you summon me?"

“Eh, no reason, maybe we can talk a bit?” Rick said, leaning against a building, “So, how goes your Equestria?”

Dillan shrugs floating in the air with his legs crossed indian style. "We're cleaning out an entire planets worth of water that came from my planet being nearly completely frozen from a new species of ice alien doctor animo made."

Rick nodded his head, “Be glad you have just Ben 10’s villains, I have to deal with villains from Marvel, Sonic and Transformers Animated, plus Equestria’s villains. I basically have to deal with a bad guy 24/7. But I’m not complaining, hey I got a friend here who is also Displaced, wan to meet her?”

Dillan shrugged as he stopped levitating "sure why not, and did you say sonic and transformers animated series? Think we could find some? A Cibertronian scan would be epic."

“Sure, but we are kinda scattered since arriving here or protecting cities and stuff, but I do know where the Dinobots are.”

“Hey Rick.” another voice called out beforeLapis Lazuli landed next to Rick, “Who’s your friend?”

“Angie, this is Dillan. Dillan, Angie.” Rick said, introducing the two.

Dillan just stared at her. "Lapis Lazuli… best gem."

“Thanks, so you are a Displaced, we met only one since we’ve been here, well Rick did not me, seeing how I was stuck in a mirror.” she said,

Dillan sighs. "You just had to say that…" he pulls a guitar out of nowhere. "You know what i must do."

“Wait what are you doing?” both Rick and Angie asked at the same time.

Dillan strums the guitar before singing. "She was trapped in a mirror and it couldn't be clearer, she wanted to leave this place and get herself back in space. And dad you might think shes a criminal but her friendship comes through subliminal. Lapis lazuli~ you fled into the bottom of the sea, Lapis lazuli~ you were so mad but then you came around to me~" he stopped for a minute before looking at the two and chuckles. "Sorry favorite song from the show."

“Yeah, I liked the song too. Just shows how much of a nice kid Steven is.” Angie said.

Just then, they all felt the ground shake, followed by a loud mechanical roar, “Oh sh*t. Duck and cover ponies!” Rick shouted out, before a large robotic T-rex burst through a building, “Grimlock, leader of the Dinobots and somebody you do not want to get p**sed.”

Dillan props up his ultimatrix. "Think you can get me close? I got a couple new transformations from the original show I wanna try out."

“Does Twilight become a princess?” Rick said, smiling, before grabbing Dillans arm and sped off towards Grimlock, running up his tail and stopping on top of his head with Angie flying next to them.

“So, who you gonna transform into?” Angie asked, using water to keep Grimlock’s flames from hurting anyone.

Dillan's human form is replaced by upgrade, having a light blue color to it due to the 23d dimension. He melted into the dinobots body as it began to become the same metallic blue color. Grimlock blew flames and stomped around as dillan slowly took control of him, even converting into his humanoid robot form as his spark core became trapped in a Galvanic Mechamorph cage.

"Chill out bud." Dillans upgrade voice said in Grimlocks brain.

“Detecting enemy presence, activate countermeasures.” Grimlock said, in a strangely smart tone, before a painful jolt struck Dillan. Causing him to retreat.

"Anyone get the name of that truck?" Dillan asked reverting back to normal before shaking his head.

“Fools, you cannot think you have a chance to stop me.” a voice said above them, looking up to see a familiar man made of metal with a green cape and hood.

“Doom! Figures you’d try to turn one of the most powerful Cybertronians into your own weapon.” Rick said, then looked to Dillan, “You think you can handle Doom with me? He is a powerful villain.”

"Is transformers an awesome series?" Dillan smirks looking at Grimlock and slamming down his watch again, this time becoming a little red imp. "Fix, fix fix fix!" He shouted jumping onto grimlocks head again and into his head. Grimlock yelled and swung his arms as metallic noises, before he fell to the ground and jerry rig came out laughing. "No more controller and no more being able to control him!"

“ME GRIMLOCK NO ONE'S PET!! ME GRIMLOCK DESTROY DOOM!!” Grimlock roared out, spewing fire straight at Doom, who dodged but got hit with a combined attack of Ricks Thunderbolt and Angies water whip.

A crazed laughing sound came from Dillan as Grimlock threw him at Doom and landed on his face. "Be nice now!" He said speedily taking Doom's face off and doing something in his head before being thrown off. He returned to normal but was holding a remote in his hand when doom put his face back on.

“What you got there?” Rick asked, stomping his foot on Dooms back, pinning him.

Dillan pressed the button, making electricity surge through Doom before his metal suit shut down. "A temporary shut down switch, it lasts a short time but at least this way we can get him and grimlock away from the town." Dillan said scanning Grimlock now that he had a chance.

“Cool, and looks like you got that Cybertronian DNA, now Grimlock, go back to base now and go into timeout!” Rick scolded the Dinobot,

“Me Grimlock no want to go timeout!”

“NOW!” Grimlock just glared, but stomped off to the Everfree, “I swear, he is such a child.” Rick shook his head, then looked to Doom, “Now, what to do with you. Can’t place you in a normal dungeon, you’ll break out of there easily. Got any suggestions?” Rick asked Dillan.

Dillan pulled out his longer and more powerful null void gun "Null void?"

“Sure, just as long as he stays here and not in your Equestria,” Rick said, stepping away from Doom.

"You realize the null void is an inter-dimensional prison right? It technically exists in all realities at once." He said.

“Oh, right. Forgot about that.” Rick said, shrugging his shoulders. “Best send him now, Fluttershy is heading this way, and she looks to be worried about something.”

Dillan points the null void gun at Doom, before pausing. "Wait a minute, you ever seen ben 10 alien force?"

“Eh, saw most of it. But not a lot.”

"Ever see the episode when animo took over the null void?" Dillan asked.

“Eeeenope.”

"Anyway he took control of the guardians of the null void and built a dimensional drill, what im getting at image what doom could do with that tech." He said. "Not to mention all the other alien technology in the null void."

“True, I got an idea.” Rick said, as his eyes glow a slight purple, then returned to normal. “Put a memory block on him, so he won’t plan anything in the Null Void, and just for good measure, I’m placing a little device that will keep him from using his tech and magic.” Rick knelt down and placed something on Doom's armor. “Alright, send him away please.”

Dillan nods and sucks Doom into the null void. "Here, this will let you reach me in case he does something in the null void so i can help." He said giving Rick an inter-dimensional communicator.

“Thanks, so, let’s see what has Fluttershy so worked up.” Angie said, just as Fluttershy landed net to them.

“Rick...Timber...girls…” Fluttershy said, in between breaths.

“The girls are in trouble with some Timberwolves?” Rick asked, Fluttershy nodded. “Well, shoot, this day just keeps getting more interesting. Wanna help?” Rick asked Dillan,

Dillan shrugged. "Sure, and by girls you mean the cmc Or the rest of the main six?"

“Mane 6.” Rick said, then began to run off towards the Everfree with Angie close by.

"Things really move fast here, judging by the sun its only seven am." Dillan commented as they ran.

“Meh, it’s kinda slow here, but you’re right, everything does move a little bit faster.” Angie said,

"Because that makes sense." Dillan muttered before transforming into fast track. "Race ya!" He says dashing off.

Rick smirked and easily caught up while running backwards, “Seriously, that’s Ben 10s fastest alien? I’m barely even trying, oh well, eat my dust!” Rick then sped off, leaving behind a dust cloud,

Dillan smiles amd turns into xlr8 instead, and speeds past rick.

“Nope! I ain’t getting beat that easily.” Rick says, then ran faster, now running next to XLR8, “If you think you’re gonna beat the fastest thing alive think again.” Rick said with a smirk. Then he noticed the Mane 6 battling at least 15 Timberwolves, “Never thought I’d see that big of a pack.”

"Swampfire can calm them down. Also." He said turning into ultimate XLR8 and blasting towards the Timberwolves in a blaze of speed literally turning the sand on the sandy dirt road to glass.

“Show off.” Rick said, then used Spin Dash to break through a Timberwolf that tried to attack Rarity. “We’re racing after this.”

"Only if you can catch me." Dillan said zipping through five Timberwolves at once, until they began forming a mega timberwolf.

“Well, this isn’t gonna end well.” Angie said, after catching up to the two speedsters.

“Nope.” Rick said, his fists covered in lightning. Then looked to see that the moon was almost up. “Well, this is gonna hurt.”

Dillan looked to the moon. "How did it get so late already?" He asked, transforming into adult swampfire.

His response was the sound of flesh tearing and bones snapping, he looked and saw Rick beginning to transform, he got bigger and buffer, his hands had large claws and paw-like feet burst from his shoes, when he opened his eyes, they were all black with the iris being a burning blue. Rick let out a roar once he was done, Rick was now in his werewolf form. “I hate going into this form, as for your question, I have no idea.” Rick said, dashing towards the large Timberwolf and began to fight it.

"What is that form?" Dillan asked as he used his plant control powers to make the Timberwolves freeze and attack the mega wolf.

“It’s his werewolf form, he’s only able to access this form during the night, and his powers are reduced to strength, speed, heightened senses and healing.” Angie said, using a nearby lake to form chains on the Timberwolf, while Rick kept clawing and biting at it. “Pretty useful during certain situations. But in this form he is completely powerless against foes like Doom.”

Dillan nods. "Does that mean I can go werewolf when I turn into that species?"

“It is possible, it is part of my DNA, so yeah I think you might be able to.” Rick said, tearing off a chunk of the Timberwolf. “Give it a try.”

Dillan does so, becoming a shiny pikachu but can't activate the werewolf transformation until he activates his ultimatrix and goes ultimate. "So the werewolf is this forms ultimate."

“Huh, looks that way, my final form involves me becoming part dragon. I guess the Ultimatrix only allows certain powers for my DNA or something. But hey, you got both lightning, speed, strength, and a little bit of a healing factor.” Rick then grabs a boulder and slams it into the Timberwolf, causing more wood and splinters to rain.

"That or training will allow me to evolve the dna more, like my saiyan scan." Dillan said punching the Timberwolves with a fire punch.

The three Displaced and five ponies continued the attack on the Timberwolf, until it finally ran away, yelping in pain along the way. “Phew, that was one tough Timberwolf, glad you helped us out.” Angie said to Dillan, “I wonder why there were so many of them though.”

"Let me see." Dillan smiles pushing his ultimatrix as he transformed into a Mewtwo.

“So, a giant cat is supposed to help us?” Rainbow Dash asked,

“That’s Mewtwo, a very powerful psychic Pokemon, he can read the minds of anything. Including Timberwolves.” Rick said.

"Do timberwolves even have minds?" Dillan's voice asked in everyone's heads. "I was just gonna do a wide scan of the area to see what's going on." He said as his head turned in all different ways of the forest. "Oh so that's what's happening."

“What?” everyone asked,

"An ursa major and minor are invading the timberwolves territory, and pushing them out." Dillan said before he reverted to normal. "Its about five hours walking to the south."

They all nodded and proceed to the area where the Ursa’s were, Rick in the lead seeing how his senses are much better suited for sniffing out threats, “So, Dillan, I saw that you tuned into a shiny version of Rick, how did that happen?”

"My ultimatrix allows me to become different species. If its a pokemon its usually a shiny pokemon i turn into. I think its because my ultimatrix is a different color than the original." Dillan says.

“Huh, interesting, I wonder what kind of abilities you have now with Rick’s DNA.”

“He definitely has Fire Punch, I couldn’t use it, so maybe it’s different for him.” Rick said, perched on a branch while almost looking like a shadow. The only thing visible were his eyes that seemed to give anyone the creeps just by looking at them. “As for other abilities, I have no clue.”

Dillan shrugs. "I'll have to check later."

Rick suddenly landed in front of the group, “Found them, the Ursa’s are on the move, and I smell something else, something…..dark and evil.”

“What do you think it is?” Twilight asked,

“No clue, but whatever it is, it’s causing the Ursa’s to move out of their territory and into the Timberwolves.”

"Maybe its a different constellation beast?" Dillan suggested

“Nah, I’ve been around for a long time, and not once did a new constellation beast appear, but it could be possible. Dillan, got any aliens that can go undetected like Ghostfreak or something?” Rick asked,

Dillan puts a finger to his chin. "I think i have a gengar form…"

“Good, because you and me are going in, the rest of you, stay here and do your best to stay out of their path,” Rick then ran ahead, using various bushes and trees to sneak towards the massive Ursa herd.

Dillan pushed down his ultimatrix, transforming into the ghost pokemon gengar before vanishing into thin air.

Both Dillan and Rick reached the Ursa;s and were shocked to see that some of them looked to come out of a fight against a Balrog, many of them had large cuts that bled some sort of blue mist, some looked to be on the brink of death. “What the f**k? Now we know why they are moving, but what could have caused this?”

Dillan didn't respond and just snuck up to one of them, quietly turning into a celebi and began using heal pulse on the near death ones.

“Nice work, whatever did this to them, they are dead.” Rick said, then looked at cuts, “These look familiar, almost like I’ve seen these before.” that was when a loud crash was heard, both Dillan and Rick looked to the source and saw that trees were falling down, the Ursa’s noticed as well, and became panicked as they began to move faster.

"What is that?" Dillan asked.

Then a giant creature that seemed to be made out of a dark purple crystals tore through the trees, its glowing eyes scanned the Ursa’s before it, before letting out a screech and ran at speeds that a giant shouldn’t be able to, and dug its claws into an Ursa Major, which let out a roar of pain and fear, Dillan was horrified as the creature tore the Ursa apart. Rick however, was beyond scared, “A Dark Beast.” he said in barely audible tone.

"A what?" Dillan asked, turning back to human.

“A creature you should run away from, these things are made out Dark Matter, a vile substance that turns anyone evil, even those of pure heart, and these things, are my number one weakness, the stuff is what made Pikachu, my OC. We need to run now!”

"Im not leaving these ursas to die and become extinct." Dillan said propping up his ultimatrix. "Azimuth may have locked my ultimate form for this alien but its regular transformation is still unlocked! Rick listen to me, as soon as i transform make me go ultimate." He said slamming down his watch before a blinding light engulfing him. In his place stood a tall humanoid that looked to be made of stars and galaxies. Alien X, but he just stood still.

“Great, he’s arguing with those two, better move things along.” Rick said, then used his psychic abilities to enter Alien X’s mind, he saw Dillan and the other two talking, “Hey, can we speed this up?! We are about to DIE!!”

Dillan slaps him. "I told you to make me go ultimate, ultimate lets me control alien X!"

“Well, sorry. But I have no idea how to do that, whenever I go wolf, most of my intelligence gets suppressed which causes me to not know how some machines work! Side effect of this form. But I’ll do my best.” Rick then exited his mind and begant to try and make Aline X go ultimate, he was successful after a blinding flash and there stood and ultimate Alien X.

The transformation resulted in alien x becoming all white like a void woth black patches of energy on his body and blue heads of bellatrix and serena on his shoulders.(like this but white.)

“You good?” Rick asked,

"Yes, thanks rick. And sorry for slapping you." Dillan said as the dark beast walks closer to them.

“It’s cool, just scared of these things, now let me give the run down on these things while we fight!” Rick said, charging at the giant,

"No need, as ultimate alien x we know all." Belletrix said on Dillan's right shoulder.

“Heh, well guess what, these things are powerful, and work outside of time, did you know that?!” Rick said, slicing at the giant, barely making a scratch, “So no go on the time stuff, your best bet would be to try and hit with enough force to destroy it. But don’t let it bite you, you’ll get infected and turn evil.”

We already knew that." Serena said on dillans left shoulder, just before dillan raised his hands and clapped, the dark beasts dark purple light and powers faded, before crumbling to dust.

“Well, did you know that they are pack hunters?” Rick asked, before Alien X was tackled by another one, this one around the size of a human.

"Paradox told us." Dillan said before grabbing the beast by the head and turning its energy blue. "Whos a good beasty." He said petting it.

“Figures, and be careful, they are hive mind, they now know that you can do that, so be prepared for a horde of them. And, uh, maybe change me back? I am basically roadkill if I fight them.” Rick asked, tearing a Dark Beasts head off.

Dillan smirks and turns Rick into a human. "There ya go back to your basic form."

“Very funny, just to let you know, I’m mostly Pikachu DNA, with a little bit of human DNA. Now change me back now!” Rick yells out, running from a Dark Beast,

Dillan chuckles and snaps his fingers, before all the beasts vanished. "There, i teleported them to an uninhabited planet. And put a tim bubble around it so they can't leave."

“Um, alright, but they work outside of time. They’ll just go through that bubble like it isn’t even there. But at least they are far away, thanks for that.” they both then heard the sound trees and various screeches in the distance. “Now would be a good time to call some backup. This is Rick to Shadow League, we have a code red, Dark Beasts incoming, protect Ponyville at all costs, me and a friend will try to fight them off.”

Dillan shrugged and looked into a direction. "Hey paradox got anything to-" he started before two weird guns appeared in their arms."

“Hope those things are filled with positive energy, that’s the only thing that kills these things for good, what you did earlier didn’t kill them, they’ll just respawn at their leader's side.” Rick said, grabbing one of the guns, then shook his head, “I’ll just stick with my final form. Can you please change me back now, we may have a better chance if we are at our strongest.”

Dillan looks to the good beast he converted and then to rick and smiles as he turns rick back into his pikachu form. But once he did a bracelet appeared on Ricks wrist before the good beast wrapped around him like armor, and plugged onto the gun. "How's that? That good one i replaced all the negative energy with good energy, so now you have infinite Amo."

“Nice! Now, I have one question.” Rick said, just as Dark Beats came out the trees, “Are you ready to rock?” with that Rick began blasting Dark Beasts left and right.

Dillan shook his head and began blasting some more, as a mini rock beast came up to him already blue. "Um wot?"

“Guess these things do more than kill them, I just shot that one and that’s what happened,” Rick said, blasting another one watching as it too turned blue before aiding them. “Thank goodness you are Alien X or we would have died instantly.”

Dillan turns back to normal. "Damn timer." He said blasting another larger one that wrapped itself around Dillan as armor. "Cool… hey does the matter count as dna for these?"

“Not really, these things are pure dark energy, though if you see one attached to host, you may be able to scan it. Like that one.” Rick pointed to a Dark Beast that has the characteristics of a wolf, “Once they attach to a host their energy becomes DNA, so you may be able to scan one if that’s what your planning.” Rick blasted another Dark Beast that tried to bite him, now that Dillan thinks about it, they all are trying to attack Rick instead of him, some tried to go for him.

"Why are they after you?" He asked.

“I’ll explain after we deal with them!” Rick said, blasting as many Dark Beasts as he can, but was starting get overwhelmed, “THAT’S IT!! Chaos BLAAAAAAAST!!!” Rick shouted as a red energy exploded from him, pushing all the Dark Beasts back, once the blast was gone, Rick was surrounded by the Chaos Emeralds, “Give me some time to focus the energy, last time I used them I pushed them too far.” Rick then closed his eyes.

Dillan nods as he continues to blast dark beasts, until one comes up looking like a dragon and roars. "Welp time to scan." He said scanning it, before blasting it.

Then, a bright golden flash appeared, looking at the source that revealed it to be Rick, his color changed to a silver while his eyes were brilliant blue, Rick raised his hand and shouted, “Blade of Olympus! To me!” then, thunder clouds appeared as the Blade of Olympus from God of War landed in Rick's hand.

"Edge lord." Dillan chuckles.

Rick charged towards the horde, using the blade to slice apart the Dark Beasts, he then flew up next to Dillan, “What do you think? The original color was a golden yellow, guess this is an upgrade.”

"Not bad." Dillan said blasting the last of the beasts.

Then, the ground shook like an earthquake, Rick, Dillan and all the Dark Beasts that have been converted looked and saw a Dark Beast that was the size of a mountain, Rick used the blaster to try at least hurt it but was shocked to see not even a scratch, even Dillan couldn’t disperse the energy, as it just regenerated, “Dark Titan, titan class, and very powerful, made up of thousands of Dark Beasts, this thing would be slightly immune to most of our attacks. Except for…” Rick looked at Dillons ultimatrix, “I think I have a way to let you go into Ultimate Alien X for a long time, I’m gonna need to go into my final form as well.”

"Not a good idea, when ben messed with the ultimatrix it broke and i don't want to end up turning into the wrong aliens." He said looking at the titan. "But i think i might have an idea of my own. Get all the beats ready to fuse with me, and i mean all of them." He said.

Rick nodded, and began to tell the Beasts Dillans plan, once they were gathered next to Dillan Rick flew back and prepared to go into his final form.

Dillan pushed his ultimatrix down, before light engulfed the entire area blinding Rick momentarily. "Way big!" H heard dillan say as his vision cleared. "Better yet!" He said as a wave of energy surrounded him making him grow just slightly bigger than the titan.. "Ultimate way big! Beasts now!"

The Dark Beasts turned into energy as they flew up to Dillan and began to fuse with him, once they were done, Ultimate Way Big was covered in a blue crystal armor with two extra arms behind his back, and two more horns on his head along with the one in the middle giving him a crown. "Titanus way big!" He called out.

“My turn. Awaken!” Rick then was covered in blue flames, the flames changed Ricks appearance, he now had three clawed dragons feet, two fiery blue wings, and his iris were a ruby red while the rest was a blue with flames coming out the sides of his eyes, “PIKACHU DRAGON MODE!!” Rick flew up next to Dillan, thanks to the Dark Beasts, he can tell Rick had a ton of power. “Shall we finish this?”

"Wouldn't dragonic pikachu be a better name?" Dillan asked as he powered up a positive energy punch and pushed it right into the titans gut.

“Eh, work in progress.” Rick said,

The titan howled as it stepped back a bit, as Dillan noded. "Your turn bud."

Rick smirked as a blue glow escaped his mouth, “Doragonzufaia!(Dragon's Fire!)” Rick released a blue beam of both energy and fire, blasting away a good chunk of the Dark Titan, then a fiery aura, which took the shape of a dragon, surrounded him as he flew towards the titan, “Doragonbureido!! (Dragon's Blade)” Rick managed to slice off the arm of the titan, “Phew, I’m running low of energy, with me going super and then Dragon, I’m nearly spent.”

"Take a rest, I got this." Dillan said, taking out his other two arms. He crosses them all into an X and blasts the titan with the force of ten atomic bombs in positive energy into its core.

The Dark Beast let out a final roar of pain and anger, before turning into dust. Rick flew next to Dillan, both exhausted, “This is one heck of a fight eh?” Rick asked DIllan as the Dark Beasts unfused with him.

"Yeah, not bad." Dillan said as he looks at his ultimatrix, it looking now like ot was mixed with a good dark beast's energy. "Huh thats different."

“What is it?” Rick asked,

"Look." He said showing him the difference to his ultimatrix before the energy fused with it and it looked normal. "Weird."

“Definitely.” Rick exited out of Dragon mode and immediately collapsed, landing one knee while trying to catch his breath. “Dang it, I should have waited till I got back to Ponyville.”

Dillan holds out a green bean. "Sensu?"

“I’m good, just need to catch my breath is all.” Rick said, getting up, “Let’s get back to Ponyville, I saw a few Dark Beasts get by us, but they won’t get far with the Shadow League guarding the town.”

"Who is the shadow league?" He asked, confused as they started walking.

“OH, a team I made up for my OC, they are group of anti-heros, beings who have neither qualities of both hero and villain, and unlike most heroes, we know when to break a law in order to save the day, we are basically the darker version of the League of Heros, another team that has the Avengers, Autobots, and Sonic the hedgehog heroes.” Rick explained as they and the Dark Beasts were near the entrance of the forest. Then Dillan remembered how the Dark Beasts swarmed Rick and ignored him.

"Why did the dark beasts attack you more than me?" He asked.

Rick had a pained look, he sighed and began to explain, “Because it’s my OC, I created him to be clone of Sonic, Ash’s Pikachu, and Eggmans DNA, but another factor was added to the mix, make that two factors, the villains, the Dark Legion, wanted Pikachu to be a weapon so Eggman discovered Dark Matter used it to counter the hero DNA and Weapon X was born, but the second factor was this.” Rick’s chest began to glow as a shard of a crystal came out. “A piece of the Allspark, it helped disperse some of the Dark Matter which caused Pikachu to become good, but unfortunately, the Overlord,” Dillan shuddered at the name for an unknown reason, “Yeah, that happens, he is evil itself, like literally, he is evil. The Overlord wanted Pikachu to a Dark Beast as well, seeing how he still had some Dark Matter in him, but Pikachu fought back. To this day, I’m still the embodiment of both good and evil.” Rick finished explaining, letting Dillan take in the information.

"So you're dead?" Dillan smirks. "After all your one with the allspark."

“Ha ha ha, very funny.” Rick said, but smirked, “Can’t really die, Celestia and Luna made me immortal, besides, the only thing that can kill me, is me. And destroying the fragment, that will definitely kill me.” Rick noticed they were exiting the woods, Dillan and Rick saw a lot of dust piles of Dark Beasts, and standing in front of the forest, where various characters, the Dinobots, Shadow the Hedgehog, Mewtwo and many more. “Dillan, meet the Shadow League.”

"Sup." Dillan commented.

“Hmph, is that the guy who helped you fight off the Dark Beasts? He doesn’t look tough.” Shadow said, then noticed a Dark Beast trying to bite him before he stomped on its head, “Hate those damn things.”

“Me Grimlock remember you, you helped me Grimlock.” Grimlock said, “Not that me Grimlock needed help, me Grimlock would have been fine.”

"Your welcome buddy." Dillan smiles knowing grimlocks type of person. "Also shadow, i can literally rewrite an entire reality. Don't press your luck."

Shadow just crosses his arms, “I see that the Dark Beasts couldn’t get past you guys. Glad t-” Rick was interrupted when a Dark Beast came out of nowhere and bit his shoulder, causing him to scream in pain, lightning covered his body as he shocked the Dark Beast, causing it to let go. Rick fell to the ground, holding his shoulder in pain as blood came out. Dark purple veins appeared, spreading all over Ricks body.

Dillan blasted the dark beast with the gun paradox gave them and turned it good, before infusing the energy into a senzu bean. "Don't worry man, all will be well." He said remembering his favorite superheros line as he made Rick eat the positive energy infused senzu bean. The dark veins began to slow and vanish, giving Rick the chance to catch his breath. "See?" Dillan smiled.

“T-thanks.” was all Rick said before passing out.

“Rick!” Dillan heard Angie call out as she landed next to them, “Is he alright?!”

Dillan places a hand on her shoulder. "He'll be fine."

"And how do you know are you psychic?" Shadow asked, getting angry.

Dillan thought for a moment, crossing his arms. "No, I have hope. Its what allows me to stay calm and collected during whatever im doing."

“He is fine, just exhausted, so no need to worry. And great idea by the way.” a voice said, they turned to see an all black version of Rick, he had ghosty white eyes with no pupils, the blalck parts on Rick like the stripes were white, and the voice gave Dillan chills. “Hello everyone. Nice to see you all again.”

"Who are you? And what's a great idea?" Dillan asked.

“The idea of having hope to keep calm and such, and I am Dark Pikachu, or Dark. I am the dark spirit of Ricks that decided not to become evil like most, but instead good. I dwell within Rick’s mind, so I know he is alright.” Dark said, walking to Rick, “Angie, I believe your Grimoire may be useful right now to help Rick heal, he still has some Dark Matter in him, but the Allspark is taking care of it.”

"Grimoire?" Dillan asked.

“It’s something another Displaced gave me, Rick and Dark, they are like spell books that let’s use use something that best fits us, me, I got Waters of the Sea Dragon, it basically lets me use water to help heal people and lets me summon sea dragons, Ricks is Salamander Spirit Magic, Darks has Dark Spirit Magic.” after Angie explained, she opened her book, which had an ocean blue color to it, with several Lapis Lazuli gems on it, the clover was a four leaf one, it also had what appeared to be waves of an ocean, with a serpent like dragon emerging from the waves with a big splash. “Waters of Strength.” a thing of water came out while slightly glowing and covered Rick, Rick’s pained look changed to a look of relaxation.

Dillan smiles. "Told ya, all will be well." He said, a white symbol appearing momentarily on the ultimatrix hourglass.

This didn’t go unnoticed by Shadow, “Hey, your device had something on it.” he said,

Dillan looked to his ultimatrix. "What did it look like?"

“I don’t know, I only caught a glimpse of it.” Shadow replied, leaning against a building as Ponies watched them.

Scootaloo walks up to him. "I saw it." She said drawing in the dirt. "It looked like this."

Dillans eyes widen. "The blue lantern symbol? There's lanterns here?"

“Not really, Rick only had Marvel, Transformers Animated and Sonic X meet, no DC, though he did say there could be a way to travel between our Equestrias without being Displaced, he calls them Dimensionators, but other things could travel through dimensions.” Angie said, finishing her spell.

"You do realize that the merchant could also have added stuff you didn't know about to keep you on your toes." Dillan said. "Heck in my world literally right before coming here i saw a tricaratron spacecraft from tmnt."

“That….is possible.” Angie said, just as Rick was waking up,

“W-what’s going on?” he asked.

"We're discussing the possibility of the merchant throwing things into your dimension to keep you on your toes." Dillan said. "Like those, that symbol appeared on my ultimatrix." Dillan points to the blue lantern symbol.

“Hey, a Lantern symbol? Weird, I forgot what that one was. But you may be right, I’ll have to give him a call later.” Rick then attempted to try and get up, key word try.

"Stay down and rest." Dillan said, leaning him on a tree. "And that one is of the blue lanterns, the ones powered by hope."

"Covenant that appeared after you were talking about having hope." Shadow rolls his eyes. Dillan just blinks and looks to his ultimatrix before shrugging.

“Eh, doesn’t matter, what matters right now is to get rid of the Dark Beast remains before-” Rick was interrupted by a golden flash, once the light died down, Celestia and Luna stood, looking at everything and everyone. “Celestia arrives.” Rick finished with an annoyed sigh.

“Rick, what has happened? We sensed a great deal of darkness and came as soon as we could.” Luna said, rushing to Rick's side,

Dillan slowly backs away, knowing how these two can be when emotional.

“And who are you?” Dillan heard Celestia ask from behind him. “Better answer quickly, I am in a bad mood right now.”

"Oh um im Dillan, im a displaced." He said. "Nice to meet ya."

“Relax Tia, he’s with me.” Rick said, walking up to the two with the help of Luna, “And we also took care of the dark presence, so no need to worry.” Dillan noticed that Rick had bags under his eyes and looked to have ran a marathon, 20 times.

"Why do you look so tired? Did that bite do that much?" He asked as a purified dark beast puppy runs up to him and jumps in his arms. "Um, good dog?"

“That’s a Dark Beast, scout class, they are much faster than their relatives, but they are easier to destroy, you know, we need a name for these converted Dark Beasts. As for why I’m tired is because of my Dragon Mode, it burns energy faster the more attacks I use. Plus getting cured of Dark Sickness can take a lot out of a guy.”

Dillan nods slowly thinking for a moment. "What about the demented." He chuckles.

Rick just yawned, “Man, I wanted to race ya, maybe spar a little.”

“Maybe you can do that after you’ve recovered.” Dark said, appearing next to Dillan, who almost had a heart attack from the sudden appearance of the spirit.

"God d**n, no life energy or anything to locate im not ok with that." Dillan said holding his heart.

He heard the others chuckle at his misfortune, but Dark, he was emotionless, almost as if he had no emotion to begin with. “Forgive me, I have been told that I need to wear a bell so that way I can stop sneaking up on people.” Dark said, his ghostly white eyes unblinking.

Dillan backs away. "Ok, do you have dna or anything?"

“I do not, but I can make myself more organic to have DNA if you wish to have it.” Dark said, as the mist that came off his body became less, and looked more physical.

"So wait are you a ghost or something? Like whats your powers?" He asked. "Or are they the same as ricks?"

“My powers are nothing like Ricks, mine are more darker, I am able to bend shadows to my will, and have some Dark Type Pokemon abilities, as for what I am, I am more organic than ghost, but that only happens when Rick decides to become Dark Pikachu, I am only ghost when I am outside of Ricks mind. But I can slightly become organic, though it takes a great deal of strength.” Dark explained, a bead of sweat on his forehead, “So if you wish to scan me do it now.”

Dillan looks between the two, after scanning dark. "I have a fun idea." He said as a yellow light passes over Rick And then dark.

“What are you doing?” Rick asked as Twilight sneakily took notes on Dillan and many of the Shadow League members.

"Well with what he said it seems a bit like your rivals, so i spliced your dna with a saiyans and his with friezas." Dillan chuckles as Rick feels physically stronger.

“Thanks, but why Frieza?” Rick asks, grabbing a kunai knife and throwing it at Twilight's notes, who was behind him, while looking at Dillan. “Pikachu's peeve, being studied like a science project.”

"Because splicing you with the same dna would be boring and a Nemekian can't keep up with a saiyan." Dillan said. "Also she can study me if she wants to, I don't mind."

Twilight squeed, summoning more paper and ink, “I swear she is annoying like that. So will I turn into a giant ape if a full moon appears?” Rick said jokingly.

Dillan looks at his pikachu tail. "Um actually you might. Amd with the werewolf thing… oops."

Rick imagined what would happen during a full moon, he got an image of a giant wolf-ape hybrid with features of a Pikachu rampaging across Equestria, he visibly paled, “Looks like he might need to stay in a stasis pod during full moons.” Shadow said, smirking.

"Aren't equestrian moons always full moons?" Dillan asked.

“Maybe in your world, but ours have different cycles.” Luna said,

Dillan nods slowly. "But no you won't, let's go back to my world and i can train you to control your ozaruwolf form. I have a special place to train."

Rick nods his head, getting off of Luna, he took a step…..and fell on his face.

"Rick eat a senzu." Dillan picks him up, and forces a normal senzu bean into his mouth giving him back his energy. "Better?"

“Better.” Rick says, feeling his energy return,

"Alright you know how to send me home so i can summon you?"

“Right, wait, I need to update my Token so that way Angie could come too,” Rick had a focused look as a Lapis Lazuli gem in the shape of a diamond with two black rings forming an x over it appeared, “Angie?” Angie nodded and stood next to Rick,

“We are the Displaced duo of Lightning and water, if you need our aid, raise this Token to the air and shout Chaos control,” Dark suddenly turned into a mist and covered Rick, turning them into Dark Pikachu, “But be warned, if you bring death and destruction to the innocent, PREPARE TO DIE!!” once they were done, a portal appeared, tossing the Token in as two more popped out before the portal closed. Angie gave the Token to Dillan.

"Cool. Send me back and ill summon you both." He smiles. "Well you three technically."

Dark Pikachu nodded, “Contract complete.” he said as a portal appeared behind Dillan.

Dillan walked through, and closed instantly but was open long enough for a blue lantern battery to fly through very fast.

Rick returned to normal just when he and Angie felt themselves being summoned, “Guess you get to visit a Displaces Equestria after all huh Angie.” Rick said, Angie just smiled, “Shadow League, I want you to keep an eye out for anymore Dark Beasts,” Rick then put on a pair of shades and said in a deeper voice, “I’ll be back.”

Author's Notes:

terminator reference, and if you already knew that you get a cookie.

Another Displaced Joins the Fray

Both Rick and Angie appeared in front of Dillan, Rick, who was still wearing the shades, looked around at his surroundings. “So, where are we now?” Angie asked,

"My version of canterlot." Dillan said, the sun shining high over the endless sea as it sparkles on its surface. Rick and Angie could see clearly to the bottom of canterlot mountain through the water, and even ponyville. Though ponyville was in a bubble, with tubes heading out in every direction.

Rick lets out a whistle in surprise, “Dang, this place could use some help.” he said, looking at the vast sea.

"Yeah, azimuth hasn't been able to figure out how to teleport all this weight of water yet. But I kinda like it, it reminds me of zelda wind waker." Dillan chuckles, before Rick and Angie noticed he was now dressed completely in blue, with the symbol of the blue lanterns on his chest and on the ultimatrix.

“Dude, you just went Lantern.” Rick pointed at the outfit. “I think it looks cool.”

Dillan chuckles. "Yeah, it followed me through the portal from your world."

“Huh, why didn’t we notice it?” Angie asked,

“Probably flew at speeds too fast for the eye to see.” Rick said, taking off the shades and placing them in his Pocket Dimension, “So, you need any help with this or should we deal with my new form that appears during a full moon and could possibly rampage across Equestria?”

"This is no problem." Dillan said. "Truth be told i left it like this on purpose so the ponies won't rely on me for everything and anything, so they'll learn to adapt." He said as he noticed his celestia behind rick and Angie, she looked upset but nodded slowly in understanding.

"That is a valuable lesson for them, but the kingdom itself is going to hurt." Celestia said.

Dillan nods. "I know, but in a few months ill teleport the water away and it'll force everyone to work together to revive the wildlife. And not just ponies, the yacks, sea ponies, hippogriffs, dragons and so on." Dillan said looking over the sea.

“That’s good to hear.” Angie said, smiling.

Celestia looked conflicted. "Are you sure you'll be able to get rid of it all?"

Dillan nods. "Yes, dragon balls."

Celestia raises an eyebrow with a slight blush.

“I don’t thin he meant those types of Dragon Balls.” Angie said, a small blush while Rick just stared, before shaking his head.

Dillan laughs, propping up his ultimatrix before turning into a Nemekian. "This kind." He said, taking out a sack and drops a set of blue orbs with black stars onto the ground.

“Heh, the Dragon Balls that summons Shen Long, the great wishing dragon, able to grant any wish as long as he can do it. Like bringing back the dead.” Rick said.

"Bring back the dead?" Celestia asked shocked.

Dillan returned to normal, the dragon balls vanishing when he did. "Yep, i have quite a surprise for aj and her family for Apple Bloom's birthday next week."

“I wonder what it could be?” Rick said, “So, the entire land is covered in water huh? Must suck for som species.”

"It would have, but I used alien X to create those domes." Dillan sid pointing to ponyville. "Except for the yacks, they're on a mountain so they're fine."

“Yeah, and the dragons live in a volcano based biome, so are they good?” AAngie asked, deciding to mess with the sea a bit and made various objects and buildings.

"To a point, the hippogriffs turned them and the normal animals onto sea creatures for now." Dillan said.

They both nodded, “So, Dillan, you said something about a place to help train my new form, what is it again?”

"I was gonna call it ozaruwolf." Dillan smiles. "And yeah, follow me." He said transforming into ripjaws before jumping into the water.

He was followed by Angie who created a current for her to swim alongside Dillan, while Rickwas running above them, though he did look a bit fearful being on water.

Dillan looked up. "Put a bubble around him and bring him down, we're going to ponyville." He said to Angie.

She nodded and a bubble appeared around Rick and brought him underwater. He looked around, doing his best to keep himself from the water. “I hate the water sometimes.”

"Why?" Dillan asked as they grew closer to ponyville.

“How about the fact that I’m a walking conduit that’ll electrocute anything around me, including myself, trust me. It happened, I nearly drowned after getting electrocuted by my own lightning.”

Dillan whistled as they reached the dome, Rick and Angie stooped expecting to hit it but dillan simply swam through and transformed back.

Both Rick and Angie entered as well, Rick’s bubble disappearing as he entered, “Somehow, I knew that would happen.” he said, glad he is no longer near water.

"Howdy dillan!" A young maturing mare with red hair and a bow said running up to him

"Hey applebloom, how ya been?" Dillan smiled.

"Good, mr tirek is teaching Sweetie belle about magic and Scootaloo is learning to fly with rainbow. Im so bored." Applebloom sighed.

"Well come with me and my new friends here. I can train you like im gonna do with them." Dillan smiles.

As they were walking, Rick asks, “Mr. Tirek?”

"Oh yeah, here tirek escaped from tartarus a second time and after me and the cmc showed him friendship he started teaching magic here. He's my roommate." Dillan said.

Rick nodded his head, “Are we close to this training grounds of yours yet? I can feel my werewolf side getting antsy.”

"Yep, were here." He said stopping in front of a simple log cabin.

"Um dillan this is just your house." Applebloom said.

“Let me guess, secret entrance or something?” Angie asked, as though it was normal for her.

"Inside." He said opening the door.

Everyone nodded and entered DIllan’s house.

Dillan walked over to a closet and opened it, pushing everyone inside before clicking a light switch. Suddenly they were all on a light elevator heading down.

“Called it.” Angie said,

"Welcome to the equestrian plumber base." Dillan said as they enter a large underground base filled with all sorts of aliens in white suits and even a young alicorn male.

"S-shadow is here?" Applebloom asked blushing.

“Who?” Rick asked,

"A young alicorn who's mom was obsessed with nightmare moon, unlike past sins and trying to give her a body of her own his mom tried to sacrifice him to let nightmare invade his body." Dillan said. "It didn't work so now he looks like a mix between nightmare and a dragon. His dad was a plumber, and applebloom like him~"

“That I can tell.” Angie said,

“Like?” Rick asks, tilting his head in confusion.

"Dude she has a crush on him." Dillan chuckles.

All he got was a confused look, Angie tapped Dillans shoulder and whispered, “Rick’s OC is new to emotions, such as love unfortunately, but the emotion he is more used to is rage, and he paid the price for that emotion.”

Dillan smirks at Angie playfully."Unfortunately huh?"

Angie realizes what she said and blushes, “Er, I uh, forget I said that!” she quickly says, walking away a bit.

Dillan laughs a little, before leading them to a special room with a 23 on it. "In here."

They all entered and saw an empty room, with a panel on the wall full of buttons.
"Ok, one second i know someone that will help the training go better." Dillan said pushing a button, as a secret panel opened revealing a bunch of objects.

“What are those?” Rick asked, looking at each item.

"Tokens." Dillan said. "For each displaced I've met." Dillan picked up a blue one star dragon ball that was next to a mega stone and an image of a mewtwo and threw it to Rick.

When Rick caught it a message was sent into the air.

“I am Cooler, one of the universe seven’s strongest, I will help you if you don’t cross me.”

“Hmm, sure why not!” Rick said, handing the Token to Dillan, “I think you should summon him, I might get on his nerves.” Rick had a smirk on his face.

Dillan holds up the dragon ball. "Hey cooler, mind helping me?" The dragon ball glowed as the star in the center glowed, growing into a portal.

“This should be interesting.” Rick said, crossing his arms. Waiting for the Displaced to come out.

“Aaargh!” A humanoid figure came flying through the portal, looking battered and bruised, rolling to a stop a short distance away.

Another humanoid figure, purple in color, slowly floated out from the portal. “Pull yourself together Raditz, I hardly touched you.” The figure drawled, a brow raised.

"Back to monkey business huh raditz?" Dillan asked the saiyan helping him up. "Hey cooler how ya been buddy."

“Screw you!” Raditz sneered, wrenching himself away. “I don’t need your help.”

“Behave Raditz.” The purple figure spoke, “Unless you want him to teach you another lesson in humility, of course.”

Rick and Angie just watched the two Displaced and saiyan talk, “So you are Cooler correct?” Rick asked, right before Dillan knocked Raditz unconscious.

“Yes, that would be correct.” The purple figure, now identified, responded.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Rick and this is Angie.” Rick said, holding his hand out,

“The pleasure is mine.” Cooler replied, grasping Rick’s hand to shake gently.

"I like how no one commented on me knocking Raditz unconscious." Dillan chuckled walking up to them. "But anyway, coolers human name is Dante, but the cooler squad and monkey boy can't know that."

“My lips are sealed.” Rick said, “So, Dilan thinks you might help out with a problem we might have.”

"Well actually not only that but training you in ki. And its actually a good thing Raditz is here, he can control his oozaru form so he should be able to help you learn." Dillan said. "That is if Dante wouldn't mind."

“Training in Ki, huh?” Cooler put a hand up to his chin, “Well, what do you know about it so far?”

"I just spliced his dna so probably not much." Dillan commented.

“Well, I do know that ki can be used for certain things with enough practice and training, like ki blasts and flight.” Rick said,

Dillan nods slowly looking to Cooler. "We might have to start from the beginning to get him used to ki energy."

“The beginning, huh?” Cooler looked up in thought, “Well, the first thing you need to do is feel the Ki inside yourself. Find the source. Hopefully in a less..” He looked away briefly, “Explosive way than I did.”

Dillan thinks again before going over to the button panel and pushes a different one, the token wall rotated to a bunch of gadgets. He picked up one that looked like a capsule from dragon ball. Clicking it he throws it to the center of the room, as a gravity manipulating machine manifested. "Will this work?"

“Yeah that looks like it might help, I have back in my Equestria but don’t use it much.”

“It may. I know that you can get into touch with your Ki through extreme anger, training, or stress at the very least” Cooler offered, looking at the device. “I personally found it through anger.”

“Yeah, anger may not work for me as I have a………..darker form for it, and you do not want him to come out.” Rick shudders at the thought of other persona getting out.

Dillan nods slowly as Raditz wakes up. "Hey sorry Radish, but we needed to talk for a bit and we need your help." Dillan said.

“What?” Raditz snapped, standing up slowly.

"You see my friend here is part saiyan, and needs help taming his oozaru form." Dillan said.

“An oozaru combined with a werewolf, that is a possibility as well.” Angie said,

“So he’s a half-breed.” The saiyan sneered derisively. “Why should I help.”

“Because if you don’t, I’ll be sure to show you the consequences.” Dark appeared again, making everyone except Cooler jump from his sudden appearance.

“And just who the hell are you?” Raditz questioned, glancing at the newcomer.

Dillan steps back slowly pulling Angie back as well.

Dark just stared, then replied to Raditz, “I am Dark Pikachu, Rick's dark form, but instead of choosing evil I chose to be good unlike many dark spirits, and I’ve seen scarier things than an angry ape.” Dark said,

“Well, Dark doesn’t necessarily mean evil.” Cooler offered with crossed arms, still floating where he’d exited from the portal. “And besides, if you don’t help then I’ll twist you into knots and let Dore kick you around like a ball.”

“Tch.” Raditz clenched his teeth and turned away. “Fine. Stupid purple lizard.”

“What was that?” Cooler’s gaze hardened, a large ball of Ki forming on a suddenly outstretched hand.

“Nothing!” Raditz responded with panic, waving his arms. “I didn’t say anything!”

“I thought as much.” Cooler allowed the Ki to dissipate, folding his arms once more.

“Really, a little light show was all it took? That’s pathetic.”

“That ‘Little Light Show’ had enough energy to wipe out everything for nearly fifteen square miles!” Raditz yelled. “I don’t feel like getting blasted with that.”

"Fifteen? That's it? Piccolo destroyed the moon, and you nearly killed him." Dillan said before stopping. "Almost being the word so no wonder you were scared."

“So did Master Roshi, he managed to destroy the moon.” Rick said, then looked to Dark, “And stop picking fights man.”

“Well I want to discipline my subordinate, not kill him.. And the surrounding landscape.” Cooler offered, “Raditz can certainly attest to how much it stings.”

“Hey guys, not wanting to interrupt your little ‘who’s strongest’ argument here, but night is almost here, and Rick’s werewolf form doesn’t need contact with the moon in order to change, and we don’t know if he might go oozaru.” Angie said,

"To go oozaru he needs to see the moon, so regular training will be it for right now in his werewolf form." Dillan said.

“Alright, I can handle whatever you can dish out.” Rick said in a cocky tone with a smirk. “I’m probably going to regret those words aren’t I?”

Dillan and Cooler smirk dangerously, right before Dillan transformed and had a monkey tail and black spiky hair. "Saiyans get stronger from near death experience so… cooler can go first."

It was at this moment Rick knew, he f***ed up. “S**t.”

Training is Hell

To say Rick was in pain, was an understatement, he felt like his whole body just became jelly! He was currently lying on the ground, covered in bruises. “I…….hate…...training!” he weakly shouted out.

"No pain no gain bud." Dillan told him still as a saiyan, standing over him with a senzu bean. "Glad i have a little garden of these down here now."

Rick couldn’t even eat the Senzu because his jaw hurt so much.

Dillan throws the bean to Angie and forces it into her mouth, before making her chew it and kiss Rick to put the bean down his mouth.

Both of them had shocked looks, Rick and Angie just stayed like that before breaking away from each other and getting up, both of their faces a deep red. Angie gave Dillan a glare that promised pain in the future, Rick was confused.

"Your welcome." Dillan laughed fist bumping cooler.

“I want to kill you, slowly and painfully.” Angie said, summoning her water wings and flying away.

Cooler rolled his eyes, watching with crossed arms and a small smirk of amusement. “At least you’re getting better.”

“Y-yeah, just don’t do that again next time, it was very confusing.” Rick said, the blush still present, shaking his head, Rick prepared for another round of training, “So what’s next?”

Dillan nods slowly. "Well you have the basics down so now it's time for oozaru training."

They all heard something, it sounded like scratching, they looked to see Dark, who had been meditating while Rick was training, was scratching some runes into the ground with a clawed finger, his Grimoire floating next to him while opened, “Placing imprisoning runes down in case Rick goes nuts.” Dark said, not even bothering to look at them as he kept working.

Dillan nods slowly. "Ok, Raditz ya ready?"

Raditz sighed, “Yes, I’m ready.” He snapped out, acting as though every interaction was a chore.

“Geez, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.” Rick said, glancing to where Angie and the others were at, they were behind a transparent black shield thanks to Dark. “I bet five bucks that I’m probably going to go berserk or something.”

"Considering goku did and he was a pureblood with no werewolfness… yep." Dillan said.

Rick paled slightly, but snapped out of it and gave a smirk, “Ready to start.” he said, giving a thumbs up.

Dillan nods. "Seeing as we can't channel normal moon light in here because of the flooding, i'm going to make one."

Rick looked at him confused before nodding. “Alien X?”

Cooler looked thoughtful, “That sounds vaguely familiar.”

“Ben 10’s most powerful alien, able to control reality itself.” Rick said, “And is able to copy an entire universe into existence.”

“Oh, right.” Cooler snapped his fingers in an ‘ah-ha’ moment, before muttering to himself. “I wonder if that makes the reboots canon.. I hope not.”

Rick just shrugs his shoulders.

Dillan shrugs, still as a saiyan and charges his ki into his hand before firing it into the air. "Burst open and mix!" Dillan said as the light exploded and formed a light sphear in the sky.

Cooler raised an arm up, a single finger pointed to the sky as he formed a small-ish energy ball roughly three times his own size, looking like a miniature sun.

"Cool orb." Dillan smiles. "But what i just did made an artificial moon, its what the saiyans use to go oozaru on planets without them."

“Oh, I know.” Cooler responded, “I’m simply preparing in case he attempts to attack us once he transforms.”

Dillan nods. "I figured i was telling Rick."

Cooler closed his eyes and chuckled a bit, “Of course, that makes sense.”

Dillan glanced at the moon, before frowning. "Crap." He said before his own body began lurching and growing in size.

“Of course.” Cooler sighed, “I don’t suppose you have control of your own form?”

The ultimatrix glowed a pale blue, that matched his eyes. "Y-yeah, the ultimatrix doesn't let dna overpower my mind."

“Good, I don’t much feel like beating two oozaru into unconsciousness.” Cooler replied, looking slightly relieved. “Saiyans have rather thick skulls after all.”

Dillan nods, watching as Raditz turns oozaru as well. Both waiting and looking at Rick who just stared at the light, he could feel his body start to change as he grabbed his head and let out a pained yell, his muscles began grow as did his size, what appeared to be wolf like paws burst from his shoes, his eyes turned a blood red as his teeth grew sharp, he grew a oozaru snout as his ears shrunk down to that of a wolfs while his tail became that of an monkey’s, and his fur was a darkish grey. But what caught both Dillans and Coolers attention was the faint blue glow coming from Rick's chest, once the transformation was complete, Rick easily towered over the others. He just stared, not doing anything.

Cooler looked over Rick’s new form, “Hmm.. He seems slightly different from most oozaru.”

"He has werewolf blood in him." Dillan told cooler. "But also be careful of the light that's a piece of the allspark from transformers, it keeps him from kicking the bucket."

Rick suddenly swung his fist at Cooler, sending him flying, Rick let out a beastial roar. Clearly showing that he did go berserk.

“Lovely.” Cooler grunted from where he’d caught himself in the air. “I’m glad I managed to dissipate the Ki in time.” He raised a hand towards the berserk oozaru, ready to fire Ki blasts if it came after him.

A dark glow caught their attention, they looked and saw it was coming from the runes Dark made, then chains made of shadow wrapped around Ricks arms and legs, one even wrapped around his snout.

"Ok Raditz, how do we get him to calm down?" Dillan asked. "Also am i the only one that thinks when he goes super saiyan 4 it'll look bad*ss?"

“Probably.” Cooler shrugged.

“Calm him down?” Raditz scoffed in his Oozaru form. “You either have the willpower to fight your inner beast or you don’t. That’s the difference between a true saiyan warrior and a pawn.”

“Except I recall that Prince Vegeta could not even control his oozaru at times.” Cooler spoke, looking down at Raditz. “You would call him a pawn?”

Raditz turned his currently giant head away, “Someone stronger is usually around to knock some sense into the saiyan for their first transformation.”

Dillan looks at rick and charges ki, going golden oozaru before punching Rick in the face causing his rational brain to start to take over.

“Grrrr…..guys…...can’t…..con...trol….need…..you to knock me out quickly…..”Rick managed to get out, before going berserk again tore off the chains, and charged right at them.

"Cooler destroy the moon I made." Dillan said, holding Rick back, carefully because of his super oozaru straight.

“DARK OBLIVION!!” they heard Dark shout, before a black and purple beam destroyed the moon. “Destorying the moon is only one of two ways to snap Rick out of it, whenever he goes werewolf, he has to suppress the wolf's desire to hunt, now we have an oozaru that is out of control that is also part wolf, what do you get? A ton of suppressed instinct coming out in the form of a rampaging beast.” Dark summoned every shadow he could to make a copy of Rick, which began to fight him away from the others, but stopped when Rick began to shrink, his features becoming more wolfish, until finally Rick was just in his werewolf form, passed out on the ground.

Dillan, and Raditz also returned to normal, just Dillan's hair was golden.

Dark also got rid of the shadow copy and walked to the others, “Be glad that the oozaru part stopped the moment the moon was gone, if he stayed like that, we’d been in the hospital, or the morgue.”

“Gee, aren’t you a little ray of sunshine.” Angie said as she landed next to them. “Is Rick going to be okay?”

"Lets let him rest for a bit, come on ill show you to a bed chamber for him." Dillan said, looking at Cooler. "Want a tour?"

“Sure, why not.” Cooler shrugged.

“I would like one as well, I need to regain some energy after making a copy of that size.” Dark said, then looked at Angie, “You coming?” she just shook her head no.

"It's ok, you stay with Rick." Dillan smiles as he leads them to a bed chamber. "I'll inform magester piteleday about this."

Angie nodded in thanks, and just before the three left she called out, “Hey Dillan, got something for you.” Dillan immediately felt pain in crotch as he looked down, he saw a water fist punching him,

"Not cool." Dillan groned eating a bean. "But i had it coming."

“Damn right you did.” Dark said, even despite that, he didn’t even chuckle, makes one think he has no emotion at all.

Dillan nods as they all head out of the bedchambers. "Hey piteliday!" He called to a ripjaws looking plumber.

"Why hello there Dillan, who are your friends?" The fish-like alien asked.

"These are some other displaced i met, this is cooler, and dark and Raditz." He said. "Im gonna give them a look around, oh and i have a friend in the third bedchamber resting from training, if you could can you sent some medics to check on him? For his bio check the ultimatrix data base its the newest form i have." He said pulling up the dna data on Rick.

"Sir yes sir." Piteliday said happily as he started looking over the data.

“Nice place they have here.” Dark said, he knew someone had questions, “Who has questions and what are they?” he asked,

"Uh yes that would be us." A little grey frog alien said standing next to a taller but still small frog alien.

"Blucagee, driba whats up?" Dillan asked them.

"Well, we looked at the DNA and it looks like a mix of multiple aliens, what happened? And what species is your purple friend and-" Blucage said quickly.

"Dude chill, one at a time." Dillan said. "And ill let them explain."

“First off, who’s DNA are you asking about? Ricks?”

"Yes." The little frog said.

“Well, the only DNA Rick has is werwolf, human, Mobian and Pikachu. Oh and saiyan. There is no other DNA, unless….” Dark trailed off as he noticed a small flame move across the floor, unnoticed by anyone but him, and he recognized its energy anywhere. “Dillan, is there anywhere where we can talk in private?”

"Um sure. follow me." Dillan said, leading dark away from the plumbers. "Whats up?"

A shadow surrounded the area they were at, “I just put a silencing spell around us, they can’t hear us, and we can’t hear them, now what I’m about to tell you guys never leaves your mouth. Got it?!” Dark threatened, his eyes glowing brighter, as he looked more terrifying by the second.

Dillan blinked. "Ok then."

Dark sighed and began, “I’m not the only dark spirit that lives within Rick, there is another, and he is one you do not want to get p***ed,” different colored mists rolled in, taking the shape of Rick, except, he was different, for starters his usual cocky grin was replaced by frown, eyes which were a fiery orange with the iris being a deep blood red, had anger in them, his gauntlets melted away to reveal sharp claws, twin fiery feathered wings were spread out, almost ready to take flight, flames danced across his fur, and he was covered in ash and blood while a burning city was behind him. Both Dillan and Cooler were shocked to see Rick like this, the way they saw him, he was usually positive and cocky, but this Rick………..he had nothing but anger and the promise of a painful death in his eyes. They thought Dark was unnerving, this guy was frightening,

"So what? Is he coming out or something?" Dillan asked calmly.

“No, he only comes out whenever Rick is p***ed, this guy is called Phoenix, the Fire of Rage, in our world, we have to deal with the Deadly 7 Sins or six of them seeing how one of them was killed. Phoenix is the Deadly Sin Wrath’s avatar. Though it was supposed to be Pikachu, Rick created Phoenix to be a weak point for him, whenever Phoenix comes out he leaves fire and ruins in his wake. But he despises his creator, Wrath only meant to turn Pikachu into an avatar, but the Allspark, being a mysterious and fickle thing, created Phoenix, they both don’t know this however. Phoenix and Wrath.”

“Sounds unfortunate.” Cooler commented after a short pause to consider the information.

“It is, but thanks to another DIsplaced, the one who gave us these Grimoire.” Dark’s Grimoire floated next to him, “Phoenix is trapped within Ricks Grimoire, those with a five leaf clover on their books often contain a demon that will try to get the bearer to let them out. So Phoenix will have a hard time getting out.” the shadows around them began to dissipate, Dark pointed at them both, “Remember, this is between us, you can tell Rick and Angie as they both know about Phoenix, but no one else, got it?”

Cooler nodded, “I understand and have no reason to bring it up regardless, no-one will hear it from me.”

Dark nodded just as the shadows disappeared, “Good, Rick isn’t proud to have Phoenix, he can destroy entire planets if pushed too far, so whatever you do, don’t get him mad.” Dark then seemed to turn into a mist and flew down the hall, where Angie and a werewolf Rick were.

“What were you guys talking about?” Rick asked, they noticed he had a few bandages wrapped around him, such as his head and chest.

"Dark told us about Phoenix." Dillan said. "And I was gonna show everyone around the base."

Rick nodded his head, “Figures, I was gonna tell you guys but guess Dark beat me to it. Oh well, let’s start that tour.”

“Sounds good.” Cooler agreed.

“Yep.” Angie said,

Dillan nods. "Come on." He said leading everyone down the hall. "We'll start with the dimensional animal Lab."

Cooler raised a brow, “Dimensional animal lab?”

“I think it houses creatures from other dimensions?” Rick said, looking to Dillan,

"It mostly studies animals from alternative dimensions that my enemies might use against me… And some from games I love that I want to be real." He chuckles.

That’s when they heard something fall as a red and white ball rolled by, then in a flash, a Charmander stood. “Char!” it said.

Dillan chuckles. "Charmander you’re supposed to be in the pokemon lab."

“Holy sh*t, it’s a pokemon!” Cooler exclaimed, suddenly kneeling next to the charmander with a wide grin. He paused in his excitement and looked around, before coughing once into a fist and standing back up with some embarrassment. “I mean, this is.. Very interesting.”

Dillan chuckles. "The last two… three… displaced i met were pokemon so i asked azimuth to remake the dna of all the pokemon i scanned in order to make a pokemon world somewhere."

Cooler grabs Dillan by the shoulders and stares at him with undisguised hope, “Do.. Do you have Milotic, Ninetails, or Goodra around by any chance?”

"No but i can have arceus make some." Dillan said, surprising Rick

“That's awesome! Arceus is here too! And by the way that Charmander is kinda mine,” Rick said..

"Oh that makes sense, my charmander has a blue flame on its tail." Dillan said. "But yes Arceus is here, well… one hatched from the Arceus scan i have."

Rick nodded his head, just as Charmander walked up to Dillan, curious about him.

"Hello charmander." Dillan smiled as his ultimatrix beeped. "What's on your mind?"

“Cookies.” it said,

Dillan blinked and took some cookies out of his pocket and gave them to it. "Here ya go, good nose."

Charmander immediately began to eat the cookies, with crumbs and pieces of cookies flying. “Geez, not again, this happens every time. I give him cookies and then I have to pick crumbs out of my fur.” Rick said, though he had a smile.

“Oh that’s adorable.” Cooler said in a joking tone, though he had a genuine smile on his face.

Dillan smiled and rubs charmanders head. "Come on ill show you to the pokemon lab/park."

Rick’s smile grew bigger. “This is gonna be awesome!!” he said, Angie just rolled her eyes with a smile. That smile got bigger the moment she splashed water on Dillan.

Cooler floated along with the group, a grin on his face at the idea of seeing more pokemon. “John and Tony would be incredibly jealous right now.”

“Who are they Cooler?” Rick asked, Charmander on his head.

"Wasn't John the kaiju displaced?" Dillan asked. "Or was that Tony?"

“Kaiju would be John, he loved that firebreather movie.” Cooler replied, a fond smile appearing as he thought about his friends.

"Dont think ive met Tony, but i do have John's token if you want me to summon him." Dillan said.

“Seriously? That would be great!” Cooler grinned, “I’ve been pretty worried about them both, to be honest. John more than Tony, since he’s more..” The acrosian snapped his fingers for a moment, looking for a word. “Eccentric. Maybe gullible.”

“Can someone tell who Tony and John are? Are they your friends or something?” Angie asked,

"Cooler, John, and Tony all went to the same con and got displaced together." Dillan said. "Also i wonder if he's made his fire blue yet. Remember how sad he was when i transformed and it was blue?" He laughed asking cooler.

“It was interesting.” Cooler replied with a shrug.

"Ill be right back." Dillan said running back to his training room, coming back with a pink gem. "Hey John get your butt here!" Dillan said holding up the gem.

A pillar of flame burst into existence in front of Dillan, dissipating to reveal John. “Woah, is that what getting summoned feels like? Feels funny, kinda tickly.”

"Hey John how ya been?" Dillan asked using his magic to hide everyone.

John blinked, looking around. “Oh, hey Dillan, good to see you again!” He replied, smiling. “I’ve been alright, how about you?”

"Good, planet flooded but we're adapting." Dillan smiled trying not to laugh. "Welcome to my plumber base."

John looked around again, “Huh, I’ve never seen a plumber’s base. Guess you would need a bunch of plumbers though, if the whole planet is flooded up.”

"Well that and we're trying to expand the universe a bit. We already made a planet of kijus."

“Expanding the universe with plumbers?” John asked, looking incredibly confused.

"Intellectual plumbers,mostly galvin." Dillan said. "With some bodyguards and communication officers."

“I would’ve thought Galvin would be a little too smart and prideful to be plum-” John stops for a moment, eyes widening. “Oh~, right. Intergalactic police plumbers thing. Forgot about that being a thing from the show.”

Dillan chuckles and nods. "Also wanna meet a new friend of mine and an old one of yours?"

“Sure! I’m always happy to meet friends!” John exclaimed happily.

Dillan released his spell, letting Cooler, Rick and Angie became visible. "We have a wild Radish running around somewhere as well." Dillan laughed.

A blur slams into Cooler, revealed shortly to be John swinging him around. “Dante!” He exclaimed, “It’s been forever!”
“It’s barely been a week, if that.” Cooler grunted slightly, “And your hugs are stronger than ever.” He managed, with a bit of effort, to pull John off of him. An impressive feat on John’s part, considering the sheer physical strength that Cooler’s body contained.

“Cartoon physics.” John grinned, hanging from the collar of his jacket from Cooler’s outstretched arm.

"Wait its only been a week for you?" Dillan asked cooler. "Its been like three months for me… i hate time differences."

“Time dilation is a common theory for multiversal scenarios, in fact the time dilation could be decided randomly or a common feature based on the distance between our universes, possibly even something governed by the particular deity in charge of each portion of the multiverse.” John said, still wearing a goofy grin.

Cooler looked at the oddball kaiju, “You know, even after all these years, I can never tell if you act dumb when you’re actually incredibly smart, or if you just say things that sound relevant.”

Dillan chuckles shaking his head. "Never have a baby with pinkie pie." He said to john.

“I mean.. I wasn’t planning to..” John looked thoughtful, “But she is super fluffy and pink, which is a pretty welcoming color.”

"What have i done." Dillan laughs shaking his head. "Also this is Rick and Angie, Rick is part pikachu and part sonic… with some saiyan in him now, and Angie is lapis lazuli from steven universe so be careful of her gem on her back."

Cooler dropped John, letting him land on his feet. “What’s Steven Universe?” He asked.

“Oh, she’s a sentient gem!” John chirped, now examining Angie with uncomfortable closeness born of having absolutely no sense of social or physical boundaries or bubbles.

“Stop that.” Cooler admonished, lifting John up by the collar of his jacket again and pulling him away. “Sorry about him, he doesn’t really have any sense of ‘awkwardness’ or ‘boundaries’.” the acrosian apologized.

“It’s fine.” Angie said,

“So your John right?” Rick asked.

“That’s me!” John agreed, nodding his head vigorously. “Nice to meet you!”

“Man, your like a Pinkie Pie clone.” Rick said, “And it’s nice to meet you too.”

“Why does everyone always seem to compare me to Pinkie?” John wondered aloud, looking up for a moment before shrugging, “Oh well. Thanks!”

Cooler dropped John once again, allowing him to land on his feet. “This time, try staying out of personal bubbles John.”

“What’s a personal bubble?” the half-kaiju questioned in a curious tone.

Dante sighed, “Nevermind.”

Rick and Angie let out a small laugh at that. “This guy is awesome already!”

Cooler smiled fondly, “Yeah, he’s always been the glue of our group between him, tony, and I.”

“And Dante’s the smart one and Tony’s the grumpy one!” John added, grinning happily. “Tony’s also the more, um..” he trailed off, unable to find a word.

“Tony’s always been better at planning things out and gets annoyed when it doesn’t go quite the way he meant for it.” Dante finished. “He’s not the best at reacting to problems or planning on the fly though.”

“Well, he sounds like he might get along with Rick here, he never plans anything.” Angie said,

“Planning is boring!” John pitched in, blowing a short raspberry. “Reacting to things going on is much more fun.”

“And that is how John takes things. He’s spontaneous, Tony is meticulous, while I’m a bit more middle-ground, so to speak.” Cooler finished.

Rick and Angie nodded, before Rick grunted in pain as he transforms out of his werewolf form. “Hate it when I change back.”

“That looked like it hurt,” John noted, tilting his head. “That sucks, it never hurts when my form changes, but then again that’s like.. Natural kaiju stuff? So it wouldn’t make sense for it to hurt.”

“Eh, you get used to it after a while.” Rick said, then noticed that his attire is torn to shreds. The only thing that was on him was his scarf and bandages on his arms, even those were cles to torn. “Dang, and I forgot to bring extra clothing.”

John nodded, “Yeah, some of my clothing gets wrecked from stuff too. But apparently my pants are lava-proof, for some reason.” He looked down at his pants with a mildly confused expression, “It’s weird, but really convenient.”

“Lucky.” Rick said jokingly, .

Dillan coughs, reminding everyone about the tour. "So the first stop on the tour will be the dragon lab, then the pokepark."

“Dragon lab?” Rick asked Dillan.

Dillan nods. "One of my favorite mobile games back home was dragon mania legends. So im using dragon dna and combining them with random dna to make similar dragons to those dragons."

“Oh, that sounds adorable!” John exclaimed.

“I remember the first dragon I met..” Cooler commented thoughtfully, “He was a real a**hole. Pretty much tried to roast me.”

“Heh, that’s nothing, when I first met torch, he tried to declare war on me!” Rick said, smiling at the memory. “Good times, must have been 3 thousand years ago.”

“Torch?” Cooler questioned, looking towards John, who just shrugged.

"Dragon lord." Dillan said. "He leads the dragons of the dragon lands… in most equestrias."

“I see” Cooler nodded, curiosity sated.

“I guess I’m going to have to keep an eye out for him..” John looked thoughtful, “I hope him and dad don’t fight.”

“You know Beloc isn’t your real dad, right?” Cooler looked mildly worried as he looked at his friend.

“I mean, technically he is! I’m Duncan, Duncan is me, which makes Beloc family!” John paused for a second, “Hey, I rhymed!”

Dante facepalmed.

Dillan chuckles as they came upon a room with the title, Dragon DNA. "Come on in."

“Can’t wait to see what Dilllan had made.” Rick said, entering the room. Followed by Angie.

“Are we allowed to pet the dragons?” John asked as he followed the others into the room along with Cooler, who rolled his eyes with some veiled amusement.

"So long as you don't hug them to death" Dillan said staring at John intently.

“That was only one time!” John defended, “And it was a timberwolf, so it doesn’t count since I’m pretty sure they don’t die anyway.”

Dillan chuckles as they reach another door with a key bored, and started typing. Soon a microphone came down, right in front of Dillan. "Voice authorization code D.N.A Dracosapian. Dillan and guests."

The lights around the door lit up in circular patterns, before the door glowed and opened a water wavy like portal. "Come in, be careful where you step." He said walking through.

Rick and Angie followed, Along with Cooler floating in the air and John hopping along from foot to foot. The light being blinding would be an understatement, the sound of waves crashing against rock filled everyone's ears as their feet stepped on soft sand. When everyone's vision cleared they noticed multiple galvin and other plumbers walking around and taking notes about eggs.

One plumber in particular, a black dragoness similar to build as spike noticed dillan and brought him over a red dragon egg with a shell that looked like hard flames.

"Here you are, by following your instructions about the base elemental dragons we were able to make this one successfully by combining a dragons dna with that of the dna labeled charizard." The black dragoness said.

“Char?” Charmander spoke up the moment he heard the name Charizard, he looked to Rick and held out an Everstone.

“That looks awesome!” John exclaimed, excitement shining in his eyes. “It looks kinda like a phoenix egg!”

“Have you ever even seen a phoenix egg?” Cooler asked.

“Uh..” John scratched the back of his neck, thinking. “I don’t think so.”

“So how would you know?” The arcosian asked, folding his arms back into what has quickly become his usual stance

“I just do!” John cheerfully replied, nonplussed. “Just trust me Dante, I’ve got a good feeling about it.”

Dante just sighed, “Well it does look pretty cool, regardless.”

“I’ve seen a phoenix egg, though I nearly got roasted by its parents, Phoenix’s back then were a lot bigger.” Rick said, picking Charmander up,

"It's actually just a fire dragon egg." Dillan said. "The Phoenix dragon eggs are more golden."

“Hey, Charmander has had an Everstone since he first got it and has never wanted to evolve until now. Think I should?” Rick asked his friends.

Dillan smiles and looks to charmander. "Do you want to evolve?"

Charmander nods his head excitedly. “Char!”

"Then you can train with another pokemon in the pokepark lab thats trying to evolve as well. Its a shiny squirtle." Dillan smiles. "And it'll help you get over some resistances."

“Char!” Charmander said, hopping of Ricks arms and waited for Dillan to show him. “Char Char!”

"I know i know." Dillan said understanding charmander thanks to the translation function. "But how about helping me hatch this egg first?"

Charmander nodded his head, eager to help.

Dillan gestures for charmander to come over, when he did dillan put the egg in his arms. "Now just use the heat from your tail and rub it."

“That’s adorable!” John grinned, looking at the cute scene of charmander holding the egg.

Charmander proceed to do what Dillan said, making sure not to hurt the being inside the egg. After a few moments the egg began to wiggle, a few cracks forming on the surface. After just a few more moments the eggs top popped up, an adorable little red dragon with a flame on its tail and in between two horns on its head.

“Aw it’s so cute!” Angie said, kneeling in front of it, stars in her eyes.

"Careful if it sees you it'll imprint." Dillan said picking up the little dragon gently, and holding it. "We have a few habitats and some food for them, and fluttershy got a couple of animals to help us raise them."

“That’s awesome! Why do I feel like I’m in Dragon City just by looking at the little guy?” Rick asked,

“Or girl!” John chirped, “We haven’t checked and don’t know, right? Dante always says assuming stuff leads to trouble.”

“You know, you pick the oddest times to listen to my advice.” Cooler deadpanned.

"Actually we pulled a Jurassic park and mixed them with some frog dna. So they can switch their genders." The dragoness said, holding the baby dragon like a mother.

“Oh cool, so they get a choice.” John replied, bringing a fist down on his palm in an ‘ah-ha’ moment gesture. “I bet a lot of people have wished they could pick their own genders.”

Dillan blinks. "You realize a gender change surgery is a thing right?"

“Well yeah, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy on them. Probably.” John shrugged, “Less messy this way, I think?”

Rick just stared, “How did this conversation even start again? You know what, don’t answer.”

John had raised his hand and opened his mouth, as if to answer, but promptly closed his mouth and lowered his hand, still smiling.

Rick rolled his eyes while Angie had a smirk as she had her hands behind her back. This got Dillan confused.

"Why are you smirking with your hands behind your back?" Dillan asked.

Angie looked at Rick to make sure he wasn’t looking, and showed Dillan what she had, a Poison Joke flower, “Got it from our Equestria, seeing how I’m made out of light, it doesn't affect me, but it does affect Rick.” Angie said, an evil smile on her face, “I’m going to play a prank on him later. Don’t tell.”

“What’s it like having a body that’s made corporeal through hard light projection?” John asked, out of nowhere, now standing next to Angie and Dillan.”

“Eh, not that great, I don’t need to eat, and that makes me miss certain foods, but it comes in handy when I’m in danger, like I can go into my gem if I get stabbed.” Angie replied, tucking the flower away.

“But you can eat, even if you don’t need to, right?” John asked with a tilted head.

“Meh, true, but I can hardly taste anything.”

“Well what if you made something with extra strong ingredients and stuff?” John wondered.

“We tried that already, you can taste a hint of something, but not much.”

“That sucks…” John drooped a little before perking back up, “So does it bother you at all that dragons would eat gems? Like some sort of primal fear of getting eaten cropping up or anything?”

Angie paled at that, “I…..didn’t really think about it till you said something. Oh boy, no wonder why Spike has been staring at my gem, darn dragon instincts.” Angie said, shuddering.

“Oh, well better informed and a little scared rather than completely ignorant of possibility, right?” John smiled, somewhat apologetically, before a purple fist crashed into the back of his head and sent him to the ground.

“Idiot.” Cooler said, somewhat jokingly, pulling back the fist he’d used to punch his overly oblivious friend.

“Smohryr” John mumbled into the ground, before pulling his head out of the hole it had made in the floor. “Sorry Angie, didn’t mean to uh.. Cause problems.”

“It’s fine, though I may need to find a way to hide my gem, dragons are able to sniff out gems.” Angie said, holding her chin in thought, before the three heard Charmander speak up.

“Char!” Charmander said, waiting for Dillan.

“He’s waiting for you to help him evolve, also he said he wants another cookie. It’s great to be part Pokemon sometimes eh?” Rick said, smirking.

Dillan chuckles walking closer to charmander. "I'm coming charmander, and we have treats in the pokepark lab."

Charmander immediately became excited about the thought of treats. “CHARMANDER!!” he cried out happily.

John dashed over, “To the POKEMON LAB!” He exclaimed, skidding to a stop next to Charmander and pointing out dramatically.

Dillan chuckles and looks back to the rest of the eggs. "So much for hatching some pets for you all."

“Pets?” John turned to look at Dillan with stars in his eyes.

“No, no pets for you John.” Dante denied.

“But…” John pouted slightly.

“I know you love pets, but can you really focus on one right now with Kaiju attacking you at random?” Cooler questioned.

Dillan pauses. "That's a good point."

John sighed, “I guess you’re right.” He perked up again shortly after though, “Oh well, TO THE POKEMON LAB!” the Kaiju hybrid shouted with a grin, dramatically pointing once again. “TREATS FOR CHARMANDER!”

Dillan chuckles going to the portal they entered from and pushing a button, opening a different color portal. "Ok ok, come on."

“Whoo!” John bounds happily through the portal.

“Well, at least he’s not getting down over it.” Cooler said with some relief, floating to the portal. “The last time he got depressed… Well, it wasn’t a great time for much of anyone. Like having a sad puppy around.”

Dillan nods slowly, looking at Rick and Angie. "You guys wanna come or go home? I mean you must see pokemon all the time right?"

“True we do, but it couldn’t hurt to see them,” Rick said, “So, you have a place for Pokemon to live peacefully too?”

"Sure do, i don't call it the pokepark lab for nothing." Dillan smiled. "Its based off the pokepark wii game… just no sky prism or fighting… i hope."

“Yeah, mine is called Eden, a place for Pokemon that have been abused by trainers or evil organizations like Team Rocket.”

“Sounds nice.” Dante offered, “I’m sure they enjoy the peace.”

“They do, but they sometimes miss having a trainer, so I gave some to another Displaced, the one who gave us our Grimoire, I even gave him a shiny Rayquaza.”

"Cool, maybe we can trade to help the pokemon population grow in our worlds." Dillan said smiling. "You see, this door actually teleports us to other planets that i found that would be suitable for life, and with each new scan each planet that can support life but had none are being terraformed and populated with new life."

“Huh, that’s pretty cool! Hey, let me know you make a planet that has been populated with me and Darks DNA!” Rick said laughing.

"No offense bud, but with all the shit in your dna. If i did that the universe would be in trouble." Dillan chuckles.

“What stuff are you talking about?”

"Well lets see, the raw speed of sonic, the raw power of pikachu, the fact that without an allspark shard or something similar to it like the ultimatrix causing death. The werewolf transformation which is apart of dna." Dillan said listing off everything.

“Hey, you transformed into a shiny version of me with a copy of a fragment in you, I am able to tell.” Rick said, “Change into your pikachu form and I’ll show you.”

"Dude the ultimatrix is used as a replacement for it. It uses its own power to control the dna and keep me alive." Dillan said.

“Eh, oh well.” Rick said. “So, shall we get started with Charmanders training?”

"Right." Dillan said as they entered the portal, finding charmander battling a shiny squirtle, and john playing with some baby pokemon.

“Guess he got tired of waiting for us.” Rick said, rubbing the back of his head.
“They’re all so cute!” John said happily, looking up briefly to smile at the others before going back to playing with the baby pokemon.

“Well he’s always been good with kids.” Cooler shrugged, “Good to see that Charmander found the squirtle he was looking for.”

“Yep,” Charmander released a powerful flamethrower just as Squirtle let out a jet of water. Both attacks collided, both not getting the advantage over the other. “Geez, these two must really want to evolve.”

"Well squirtle is level ninety eight. And we could figure out why he wasn't evolving… until i found an everstone stuck in its shell." Dillan chuckles nervously rubbing his head.

“Heh, same thing happened with my daughter’s Torchic, it had an Everstone stuck in its feathers.” Rick said, laughing.

“Wait, how do you know what level they are?” John asked, looking up from the baby pokemon. “Is it like.. Instinct? Pokedex?”

"Poketch" Dillan said, pointing to a person with a poketch on his wrist. "And wait, Rick you have a daughter??"

“Well, yeah, her name is Eve, I remember that Pikachu saved her from Dark Sickness, the stuff that comes from a Dark Beasts bite, remember that?” Rick asked, pointing at the shoulder where he was bitten not that long ago, then continued, “Well, her mom figured out Pikachu was immune so she asked him to help, by giving her a little bit of blood, she was cured, but that is when a Dark Beast showed up and killed her mom, that made Pikachu become Dark Pikachu and kill it. Ever since then, Eve has been with me.”

"And who's watching her?" Dillan asked.

That’s when Rick stood still, a smile still on his face before he yelled, “SHOOT!!” Rick immediately pulled out a small cube and placed it on the ground, it grew into a small lab, Rick entered a series of numbers and letters too fast for anyone to see and ran in.

“Should we follow and I can give you guys a tour?” Angie said,

"Well, we're still in the middle of a tour here. Maybe he should bring her back here?" He asked.

That’s when Rick came back out, a little girl who looked no older than 7 was on his shoulders. “Guys meet Eve. Eve, meet my new friends.”

“Hi!” she said,

"Hello eve." Dillan smiles rubbing her head by levitating off the ground.

“Who are you mister? And what can you do?” Eve asked, staring at Dillan with a look that seemed to melt the hearts of anyone,

Dillan smiles softly. "My name is Dillan, i can transform into different aliens, and this is our friends dante aka cooler, and john aka Dunkin" can

“Hiya!” John waved, friendly as ever.

“Nice to meet you.” Cooler inclined his head with a small smile.

“So, shall we continue the tour?” Rick asked, then turned to the building and pressed a series of numbers before it shrunk down to a cube again.

"Sure, also what was that?" Dillan asked, noticing charmander and squirtle had passed out.

“Geez, those two must have used all their strength, what level are they now?” Angie asked, preparing to use her Grimoire to heal them.

"Same level, don't forget without the everstones once they level up they'll instantly evolve." Dillan smiles softly. "But i do have an alternative, he told Rick going over to a cabinet and pulling out four candies in blue wrappers.

“Rare Candy?” Rick asked, staring at the candy before shaking his head, “Dang Pokemon DNA, it makes me just want to eat the stuff as well.”

Dillan chuckles and throws him one, grabbing an extra rare candy and feeding one to charmander and squirtle each. Soon the two began glowing in bright light, growing and changing until it died. "Wartortal!" Dillans squirtle now wartortal yelled.

Ricks Charmander got bigger as a single horn grew from the back of his head, when the glow disappeared, “Charmeleon!”

“Awesome!” Rick said, then asked, “Heh, if you win another battle you might evolve into Charizard!”

Dillan throws the three pokemon (including rick) Another rare candy.

Rick immediately ate his along with Charmeleon and Wartorlte, Wartortle and Charmeleon began to glow again as they got bigger, once the glow faded from Wartortle, he had two cannons out of his green shell. "Blastoise!"

And when the glow faded from Charmeleon, he now wings on his back, he let out a roar, causing the ground under him to crack and creating a large gust of wind. “Dang! Somebody sure has some power!” Rick said, smiling as Eve walked over to Charizard, stars in her eyes.

Dillan looked at eve and smiles. He walks over to a nest and kneels down speaking with something. After a few moments he picks up an egg out of the bush and walks over to her. "Here eve, i want you to raise this pokemon for me."

“What is it?” Eve asked, studying the egg,

Dillan points over to the bush, where an umbreon and sylveon were watching them. "Seeing as they evolve from the same pokemon I used arceus dna to let them breed, thats also how i got the rare candies. But anyway, it's an eevee, an eevee for eve."

Eve giggled at that, Rick had a smile on his face, “Thanks man, she loves Pokemon, when she’s not learning how to use powers, she’s playing with the Pokemon in Eden.”

"Well not only that it'll teach her responsibility." Dillan smiles as the umbreon and sylveon walk over and nuzzle the egg before leaving.

“So, shall we continue the tour now that these two evolved.” Angie said, pointing at the two Pokemon,

"I mean this is pretty much it, this is the pokemon lab." Dillan said showing them the large open field with lakes and such. "Not really anything else interesting going on here."

“Really? Wow, time sure flies when you are having fun, huh guys?” Rick asked everyone.

“Yep!” Angie and Eve said at the same time.

"Well it's been fun, but im sure yall want to get home and get that egg incubated." Dillan said smiling.

“Yeah, we should, who knows what’s been going on back home. Twilight might have annoyed the Shadow League with her questions!” Rick said laughing.

Dillan laughs. "In that case, Rick, Angie, our contract is complete

Rick and everyone gave a wave before a flash appeared, once it was gone, they had returned to their Equestria.

Chapter 25

Deep within the Everfree Forest, a familiar figure was pacing back and forth, her blood red eyes seemed to glow in the darkness of the forest, "Stupid little rat. And his anti-magic using a**hole of a friend." Narissa growled out, she subconsciously grabbed her new arm, it was all black and had sharp claws, "Thank darkness I had gotten a new arm, though thanks to Asta I had to make a new arm. If I end up in his world again, I will rip his throat out with my teeth!" she heard movement coming from her left as a vampony came out of hiding, she had a grey coat with a blonde mane and bubbles for a cutie mark, her once golden eyes now a blood red, though they were still cross eyed.

"My queen, Rick is growing stronger each time he meets a Displaced, if he meets anymore, he might be too strong for you." Derpy said, bowing to Narissa.

"SON OF A B***H!!!" Narissa screamed, punching the wall next to her, causing it to collapse as Derpy tensed and prayed she wasn't next for her queens wrath. "We need to find someway to weaken that walking flea bag! I will not be able to turn him if he is gonna end up immune to my bite!"

"Aw, what's the matter, can't handle someone stronger than you?" a voice called out, a voice she knew well.

"Shut the f**k up you wannabe vampire." she said, looking to the source of the voice, seeing a figure who was covered in dull grey armor with a red cape, he had a crown on his head with his red horn . His purple green eyes stared at her while a purple mist leaked from the corners. "And what is with you villains and changing into anthro?"

"Well, it does make it easier to hold a weapon while casting magic, and it makes us faster than the regular ponies." Sombra said, walking towards Narissa, and gave a small glance to Derpy. "It seems you have been busy, she's what? The 20th pony you've turned right under Ricks nose."

Narissa smirked, "35th actually, most of them are in Canterlot, being my eyes and ears." Narissa said, a smile on her face as she walked to her makeshift throne and sitting down, "What brings the king of the Crystal Empire, oh wait, former king. Seeing how you had to banish yourself in order to keep Rick from mopping the floor with you!" Narissa let out a laugh as did Derpy, who immediately stopped the moment Sombra's horn glowed dangerously.

"In case you have forgotten, I'm also the one who cut out Rick's eye and seriously wounded him. Oh and sent those Wendigos after him and his sisters." Sombra said back, glaring at the vampire queen, who just smirked,

"Oh yes, I'm sure others haven't you know, ripped off an arm or two, tore his guts out, or maybe-" before she could go on, another voice stopped her,

"If you two don't shut up I will kill you both in a heartbeat." the voice said, causing the three to freeze and pale in terror. They looked around, but knew it was pointless, for the speaker was all around them. And that terrified them, "Finally, now back to business. Sombra, report."

"T-the Crystal Empire has returned without the knowledge of the princesses or Rick, I am currently turning the Crystal Ponies into an army that is under my-" a growl interrupted Sombra before he spoke again, "YOUR control my lord."

"Good. Narissa, report."

"I have vampires of nearly every species on this planet spying on all the rulers and Rick and his girlfriend Angie. And, I have just received word that a few friends are on their way to help kill Rick, one of them is already preparing to capture him himself." Narissa said, a bead of sweat on her head as she swore she could feel that someone was right next to her, staring at her. She heard a approving grunt before the feeling went away.

"Excellent, I also want you to send a few vampires to the Crystal Empire, I may have a plan that may help hurt Rick both physically, and emotionally. Sombra, once you returned to the Crystal Empire I want that Heart given to one of the vampires to be brought back here, I know a few others who might have a use for it. I shall await you there."

"Yes my lord, it shall be done." both Sombra and Narissa said, then Sombra entered his mist for and flew off. Narissa made sure their lord was no longer around, before addressing Derpy.

"Well? Don't stand there looking like an idiot! Bring me my most trusted and powerful vampires!" Narissa said, lips pulled back in a snarl as Derpy quickly flew off. once she returned, a total of seven vampires stood in front of their queen. She studied them all, she had personally trained these few to be the most deadly vampires ever, not even Rick, in his werewolf form at least, would be able to even scratch them before being ripped to shreds. "You seven are to head to the Crystal Empire and aid Sombra in his little mission and bring back the Crystal Heart, and if Rick and his friends show up. Kill them."

"Yes my queen." the seven said, then went off to head towards the Crystal Empire, she turned to Derpy next.

"As for you, I want you to spy on Rick and Angie, find their weaknesses, and report back to me, if you get caught, you know what to do." Derpy nodded and left Narissa alone to think over the recent events, specifically, meeting their 'master.'

FLASHBACK

"P-please, I-I have a daughter at home." Derpy weakly said as Narissa sank her fangs into her neck, draining her of her her blood and replacing it with venom. Derpy's eyes closed as she lost lost conscious, "D-Dinky, I'm sorry." was all Derpy said, Narissa released her neck and dropped her to the ground,

"Let me know when she awakens." Narissa said to the shadows, walking back to her throne.

"Yes my queen." a voice said, grabbing Derpy's still body and dragging her away.

"She was by far the easiest to manipulate, then again, the ponies have gotten so used to Rick that are willing to trust me, fools." Narissa aid, sitting down, and grabbed the area where her arm used to be. Then, she felt as though the life around her disappeared, as all the plants began to rot as a dark purple crystal started to grow, her eyes grew wide in fear. "N-no! Not them!!" she said as Dark Beasts came out of the shadows, there must have been at least twenty, "N-no get back!!" she yelled, using her single arm to swipe at any that came near her.

"Come now Narissa, is that any way to treat your guests?" a voice said, as a hooded figure came out the shadows, they stopped and looked around. "My, how low you have sunk eh Queen of Vampires?"

"W-who are you a-and what do y-you want?!" Narissa demanded as other vampires came to protect their queen.

"Why a friend of course! I'm here to offer you a chance of revenge against Rick and his friends." this peaked her interest, and the figure knew it so they continued, "I've came here to give you the power needed to crush Rick and his comrades, and a whole region of this world to be your own hunting ground/kingdom, all you have to do is join me."

"A-and if I refuse?" Narissa asked, and she'd later regret it as the figure snapped his fingers and the Dark Beasts began to tear apart her subjects, she watched in horror as they were torn apart, but she was even more terrified as one of them charged right at her, teeth and claws bared, she threw arm up and shouted "I will join you!!" then it was quiet, she slowly opened her eyes as she yelped in terror as she saw the Dark Beast was inches from her face.

"Good, I think this will be the start of something beautiful, well, not that the carnage around me isn't!" the figure laughed psychotically, as they and the Dark Beasts entered the shadows, "Pleasure doing business with you queenie."

END FLASHBACK

Narissa had gained a new arm but lost all human vampires during that slaughter, now she was the only human vampire left, she hated her 'master' but couldn't do anything about it as they had Dark Beasts under their control, a feat that should be feared alone along with the thought that her master could be the Overlord for all she knew. She shuddered, she wouldn't be much of a threat to him, he could just snap his fingers and that was it. She would rather go to Tartarus then face him. But one thing did make her smile, "Once Rick is defeated I can turn him and I will be the most powerful vampire to ever walked this land and Earth, soon Rick, you will belong to me." Narissa said before laughing darkly, unaware of a pair of eyes watching her,

'Not if I have anything to say about you vampire b***h!' the figure said, before disappearing.

Author's Notes:

Decided to branch the story out to other characters instead of focusing on Rick and Angie, now you know what happened to Narissa, but who is this figure and what does he plan to do? Stay tuned!!

Discord's Return! Part 1

Rick's POV

Me and Spike were walking throughout town, talking about how I'm gonna teach everything he needs to know about being a dragon. "So you think you can teach me about being a dragon?" Spike asked me, I nodded,

"Yep, being part dragon myself along with knowing a few dragons, I can teach you everything you need to know. Like for starters, dragons aren't the most friendliest and tend to keep to themselves, another fact is-"

"Is that a cloud made of cotton candy?" Spike suddenly asked, pointing up, I looked up and immediately regretted it as chocolate milk got in my eyes from the cloud.

"Argh!! How can something so good, sting so bad?!" I shouted, holding my eyes in pain, I opened them, painfully, to see more of the dreaded cotton candy clouds all over Ponyville. "Oh great, Discord is back."

"Who?" Spike asked, I let out a sigh.

"He is the spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, he considers Equestria his own little playground, it doesn't help that he is able to bend reality to his will." I explained as Twilight and the others ran up to us.

"Rick, Spike, we have to got to Canterlot immediately, Princess Celestia and Luna wish to speak with us about this crazy weather we're having!" she said, holding up the letter to our faces.

"And why not ask me? I have been around for a long time as they have, besides I already know what's going on." I said, crumbling the letter and throwing it behind my back. "As I said, to Spike, this is the work of a being named Discord the Spirit of CHaos and Disharmony who wishes to turn Equestria into Chaosville, etc etce." I said, already bored, it's been a while since I kicked Discord's a**, wonder if he remembers me.

"Well, we still need to go to Canterlot cause we need the Elements of Harmony." she said, already heading towards the station. I just shrugged and followed.

"Hey Spike, you may want to have a letter ready for Celestia later, otherwise you're gonna end up with one sore stomach." I said to him as he looked at me confused but nodded. The seven of us started walking to the train station when I decided to use a much easier mode of transportation, "Chaos Control." with that we were all in Canterlot in the Throne Room with a surprised Celestia staring at us.

"Gosh darnit! Warn us next time!!" shouted Applejack as the others, except Fluttershy, gave me annoyed looks. I just smirked while shrugging my shoulders.

"Well...it's good to see you all again, especially you Rick." Tia said, "I assume you already told them about Discord." it was more like a statement than a question, and she knew it too cause she continued speaking. "Good, cause I want you to aid the Element Bearers in defeating Discord as you had somewhat more experience with him."

"Eh, not really but sure, I'll also notify the Shadow League to keep the citizens calm while we do." they all nodded.

"Good, now let me get the Elements of Harmony for you." with that she proceeded to open the vault to the Elements, I just stood by the window with the image of Discord being beaten by me knowing he is going to appear there while the Elements of Harmony are back at the library. Imagine my surprise when she opened the chest to reveal the ELements of Harmony.

"What the f**k!?" I shouted, causing them to look at me,

"What is it Rick?" Twilight asked and before I could answer we heard the sound of laughter.

"Oh, simple really, he expected me to take the Elements of Harmony away while sending you on a wild goose chase, but instead I left them alone.....for now." we heard the echoed voice of Discord.

"Discord!" an anger Celestia said, as she and the others looked around, I just looked at the glass image from the corner of my eye, thinking he might show up. How wrong I was.

"Miss me Celestia and Rick, cause I missed you." he said as he appeared in front of us, I instantly grabbed him by his neck as my other fist was covered in lightning.

"Alright you sorry sack of s**t!! What game are you playing at?! Tell me or you'll end up losing another fang." I demanded as I pulled my fist back, something wasn't right here, Discord wouldn't just appear in front of the Mane 6, me and Celestia knowing the moment he did we would turn him to stone. He just smiles as if I wasn't that big of a threat, then he simply phases out of my hand as if he was nothing more than wind.

"Why I have no idea what you are talking about! I am simply about to enjoy my freedom, spread a little Chaos, etc etc." Discord said waving his hand. "Oh, and do this!" Discord summoned a ball of Chaos in his hand and next thing I knew, the upper part of my body was in the wall.

"Oh an a**hole is gonna die today." was all I said as I tried to get out.

Celestia's POV

I shot a beam of magic at DIscord the moment Rick was blasted into the wall. He dodged it by twisting his body around it, he laughed and suddenly appeared right in front of me. He grabbed me by my neck and threw me at the others causing them to stop from using the Elements, as I got up I heard him laugh then disappear. "What are we going to do princess?" I looked at Twilight as she asked that question.

"We are going to stop Discord, and-Rick please get out of the wall." I said to Rick as he put his feet on the wall and pushed but was still stuck in it, I sighed at this and used my magic to pull him out and place him next to me.

"Thanks sis." he said as he shook his head.

"You're welcome." I said back then turned to the Element Bearers, "Discord must be stopped at once, Rick do you think you Angie and the Elements can track him down while me and Luna try to keep things under control?"

"Yeah! Me, the Element Bearers and.........." Rick paused before he could say Angie, we all looked at him confused,

"Rick where is Angie?" I heard Applejack ask.

"Well, she kinda wanted see more of Equestria so she decided to take a trip." Rick said, "Possibly to get her mind off a few things that happened during our visit to Dillans world."

"Like what dear?" Rarity asked, Rick begun to blush.

"N-nothing," he then cleared his throat and continued speaking rapidly, "Anywaylet'sgostopDiscord!!" he ran out of the room as a blur. I just smirked, knowing that whatever it was must have been embarrassing for him, and could be used to tease him a little. I turned to the six ponies,

"You heard him, go stop Discord before all of Equestria becomes a land of chaos." they all nod their heads and ran off. I stared after them, then frowned, and looked in the corner, "You can come out now, I know your there." then a creature made of dark purple crystal, "Why are you here?" my horn glowed menacingly.

"I am here to receive your answer to my masters offer. What is it?" it said,

"I will not join you or your master so both of you can go eat a d**k."

"it is unwise to refuse him, he will come and kill you and all of your loved one-" it was interrupted when the reformed Dark Beast, from Rick and Angie's meeting with Dillan, tackled and ripped off it's head then crushed it. I nodded at it as the felled Dark Beast turned to dust and fly out of the castle. The Light Beast, I believe that's what Rick called it, walked up to me and bowed its head.

"Thank you, it's good to see that there are some good Dark Beasts out there."

"No, there really isn't, me and the others had our negative energy removed from us by that Dillan person, but we won't stay like this for long, whoever this one's master is, his Dark Beasts presence is already balancing out the world."

"Balancing out? But Equestria was already in balanced with Harmony."

"No, you are not, this world is too peaceful, why do you think dark forces such as Discord always appear, the Tree of Harmony decreed it, there is a reason why it is called the Tree of Harmony, it has been trying to restore balance since it was created."

"But what about the Elements of Harmony? If it was creating these evils to balance things out then why did it give us them?" I asked as it just shrugged and began to walk away.

"No clue but I don't care." with that, it left, leaving me to ponder. Then decided to focus on keeping the citizens calm.

Rick's POV

"Let's go ponies, Discord isn't gonna kick his own butt!" I said, waiting for the Mane 6 to catch up, then Discord appeared.

"Or can I?!" he then took off his leg and kicked himself then disappeared again, I growled.

"Oh that a**hole is sooooo gonna die."

"So, how are we going to stop him?" Applejack asked, and before I could respond, Rainbow Dash cut me off.

"Duh! We are gonna use the Elements of Harmony on him just like Nightmare Moon!" Rainbow said confidently.

"You mean how like I did? And Discord is as cunning as a fox, he is both smart and sneaky, he'll try any trick he can to tear us apart, so stay together and don't-"

"Oooh!! Is that a giant cupcake that has chocolate milk pouring out like a fountain?!" Pinkie said, and just as she said, and just like she said, a giant cupcake was there with a little chocolate fountain was floating away, then in a puff of smoke she was gone.

"Pinkie get back here right now!!" I shouted at her, then turned and saw that the other members of the Mane 6 were going in different directions. "Why doesn't anybody listen to the voice of reason, it happens in like everything from books, movies, cartoons, etc etc." I asked you dear readers, breaking the fourth wall. Well, better find them before it's too late." with that, I ran off, trying to find them before Discord could brainwash them.

3rd POV

"Oh man, why didn't I listen to Rick?! I mean, he said stay together and what do I do? Run off! I should have known that Applebloom was a fake. Now look! I'm completely lost in this damn maze!!" Applejack said as she looked for the exit, but every turn she takes, she gets more lost. She then stopped, and listened. "I thought I heard something, must have been my imagination."

"Aaapplejack!" Applejack turned and saw a shadow of Apple Bloom, I began galloping towards her,

"Apple Bloom?! Get back-wait! You're not Apple Bloom, your a trick of Discords!! That no good villain. Using my sister like that!"

"Aaaaw Honest Applejack saw through my little trick. Oh well!" Discords happy voice was heard. "Tell me Applejack, what do you think of Rick?"

"Well obviously he is great hero, a good friend and he has a good heart."

"I know that is not all you think of him, tell me what you really think." Discord appeared next to her, "Surely with all the trouble he's caused, those dreaded Dark Beasts that are able to wipe out entire planets he's brought with him as well, imagine if he didn't actually stop them, oh the horror!! The blood shed, and of course the countless lives that will be viciously murdered. Like your sister."

"No he's......you're right, he..did bring all sorts of evil here. Heck, I almost think he is....evil." Applejack said nervously.

"Oh dear! You are so correct. But what if he hears what you said about him and snap, he might actually turn evil and destroy everything, so I guess a lie." Discord said, already seeing his magic affecting Applejack as her color became dull.

"Is better than the truth." with that Discord disappeared and left Dishonest Applejack to be found by Twilight.

He watched from a distance as the two left to find the others, seeing Rick trapped in a different part of the maze, a maze he created to make sure he doesn't meddle in his plans. "One down, five to go."

Rick's POV

"Damn it!! How am I supposed to get out of here?!" I shouted, looking at every direction for the exit. "This place probably doesn't have an exit! F**king Discord, I bet he trapped me here so that way I can't get to the others. Time to go super!" the seven Chaos Emeralds surrounded me and then, nothing. "What the?" I tried again and still nothing. "Okay, Discord must be keeping me from going super, let's see if can stop this. Awaken Dragon Mode!" I shouted, waiting for my final form to appear, but nothing. "S**t, looks like he knows about that too. Gotta find a way out of here."

"Oh I don't know about Ricky old chap." I glared at Discord, well more like a tree in the shape of him, "This maze is designed specifically for you. Took a while for me to come up with it, and by a while I mean a good 300 hundred years, mazes aren't exactly my thing, but for you. I'll make an exception." he said with a glare.

"This maze won't hold me for long!" I ran off in one direction, but ended up back with Discord, "Damn it. Let me guess, no matter where I go, I always end up here." at his nod I did the sane person would do, I blew him him up. As bits of wood flew, I sat down and decided on my next plan of action. I only hope I get out of here before it's too late.

3rd POV

Discord watched as Rick was trapped in hs maze, he knew he had to let him out sooner or later for the rest of his plan to work. He teleported to the Shadow League base of operations, gaining surprised looks from the members, and before they could do anything, he snapped his fingers and they were encased in stone, or so he thought. A spear of energy flew by him along with a dark purple orb. He looked and saw Shadow and Mewtwo charging at him. "Yawn." Discord said as he kicked Shadow away and grabbed Mewtwo by his neck and slammed him onto the ground, he had to duck under Shadow's Spin Dash before he was kicked in the stomach by Mewtwo. Discord snapped his fingers and Shadow was sliding around due to the ground being covered in soap, he then caught Mewtwos Shadow Ball without any effort and threw it back at him, Mewtwo barely had time to dodge the attack as he flew next to Shadow, "You know, I am getting bored of these games. So just give up and become a new statue for me."

"Why? Cause you know you won't win against us?" Shadow asked smugly.

"Oh please! As if you two were much of a threat in the first place, I am simply toying with you two." Discord replied back, sending bolts of lightning at the two as they ducked behind cover.

"Shadow, we must use extreme caution with this one, we need a plan of attack."/i]

"I have a plan." Shadow pulled out a RPG and aimed at Discord and fired, causing a huge explosion. "Attack." with that, he charged at a recovering Discord causing Mewtwo to sigh in annoyance and follow after him, twin Shadow Balls at the ready.

Twilight's POV

"What are you laughing at?!" I heard Pinkie shout at Applejack, who just responded with chocolate milk. This didn't make any sense, why were they acting like this? Could Discord have done this? Oh what am I saying of course he did!! Luckily, we had found Fluttershy acting her normal self, and we were in the process of finding Rainbow Dash and Rick.

"Twilight, do you think Rick is alright?" Fluttershy asked me, I turned to her with a smile.

"Of course he is Fluttershy, he faced DIscord in the past, I'm sure he'll handle whatever is thrown at him." that is when we heard an angered scream that seemed to frighten us, and I knew only one person who can do such a thing, Rick. "I hope."

"I wasn't afraid of that!" Applejack lied, so unlike her.

"Let's just find Rainbow Dash and get out of here!" I said as we, meaning me and Fluttershy, continued our search for Rainbow Dash. I only hope Rick is okay.

3rd POV

"Bas...tard....." Shadow said as DIscord held him up by his neck, the stoned Mewtwo behind him. The two put up a good fight, but even their combined might was no match for Discord, Shadow had suffered a broken arm, various cuts, and he thinks a few of his ribs are broken. "Y-you'll....never...win."

"Oh my dear Shadow." Discord began, and in a flash he turned Shadow to stone then dropped him. "I already have."

Author's Notes:

Oh s**t!! Looks like Discord has defeated the Shadow League and imprisoned Rick in maze that he can't escape from!! And Twilight and Fluttershy have to find Rainbow Dash before it's too late!! Will Discord win? Or will our hero's pull through in the end? STAY TUNED!!
